Find the Degree, Leading Term, and Leading Coefficient -5w^3x^5 square root of 6-8w^5

$- 5 w^{3} x^{5} \sqrt{6} - 8 w^{5}$

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.

$- 5 w^{3} x^{5} \sqrt{6} \to 8$

$- 8 w^{5} \to 5$

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$8$

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

$- 5 w^{3} x^{5} \sqrt{6}$

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.
