Find the Degree, Leading Term, and Leading Coefficient 3x-4

$3 x - 4$

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.

$3 x \to 1$

$- 4 \to 0$

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$1$

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

$3 x$

The leading coefficient of a polynomial is the coefficient of the leading term.

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

$3 x$

The leading coefficient in a polynomial is the coefficient of the leading term.

$3$
