Determine the leading term the leading coefficient and the d

Determine the leading term, the leading coefficient, and the degree of the polynomial. Then classify the polynomial as constant, linear, quadratic, cubic, or quartic.

g(x)=-1/3x^2 - 3x + 6

Solution

g(x) = -1/3 x^2 - 3x + 6

the polynomial is quadratic since leading exponent is degree 2

leading term = -1/3 x^2

leading coefficient = -1/3

degree of polynomial = 2
