Find the Degree, Leading Term, and Leading Coefficient 3x^2+8x^4-15x^3+7

$3 x^{2} + 8 x^{4} - 15 x^{3} + 7$

Move $3 x^{2}$ .

$8 x^{4} - 15 x^{3} + 3 x^{2} + 7$

The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of its terms.

Identify the exponents on the variables in each term, and add them together to find the degree of each term.

$8 x^{4} \to 4$

$- 15 x^{3} \to 3$

$3 x^{2} \to 2$

$7 \to 0$

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$4$

The leading term in a polynomial is the term with the highest degree.
