What is the leading term in (3x^5-2x^4+x^2-1)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 3x^5

The leading term of a polynomial is the term with the greatest exponent of the variable. In the given polynomial, the exponents of x are 5, 4, 2, and 0. Since 5 is the greatest exponent, 3x^5 is the leading term. Although -2x^4 has a negative coefficient, its exponent is only 4, so it is not the leading term. Exam tip: Write a polynomial in descending order of exponents; the first term is the leading term.
