Find the Degree, Leading Term, and Leading Coefficient -3x^4+2y+5

$- 3 x^{4} + 2 y + 5$

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.

$- 3 x^{4} \to 4$

$2 y \to 1$

$5 \to 0$

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$4$

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

$- 3 x^{4}$

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.
