Write a polynomial that fits the description A thirddegree p

Write a polynomial that fits the description. A third-degree polynomial with leading coefficient -5

Solution

A three degree polynomial is written as :

ax³+bx²+cx+d..................(1)

It is given that leading coefficient = -5

we know that leading coefficient is the coefficient of the highest degree term in the polynomial.

Hence, a = -5

Now put a = -5 into (1), we get the polynomial that is :

-5x³+bx²+cx+d     [ Answer ]
