Find the Leading Coefficient 3x^4+5x-6x^2+10x^3

$3 x^{4} + 5 x - 6 x^{2} + 10 x^{3}$

Step 1

Simplify the polynomial, then reorder it left to right starting with the highest degree term.

Move $5 x$ .

$3 x^{4} - 6 x^{2} + 10 x^{3} + 5 x$

Move $- 6 x^{2}$ .

$3 x^{4} + 10 x^{3} - 6 x^{2} + 5 x$

Step 2

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

$3 x^{4}$

Step 3

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

$3$
