Find the Leading Coefficient -8y^7-y^3+8+2y^6

$- 8 y^{7} - y^{3} + 8 + 2 y^{6}$

Step 1

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

Move $8$ .

$- 8 y^{7} - y^{3} + 2 y^{6} + 8$

Move $- y^{3}$ .

$- 8 y^{7} + 2 y^{6} - y^{3} + 8$

Step 2

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

$- 8 y^{7}$

Step 3

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

$- 8$
