Which option correctly gives the leading term of (3x^4-2x^2+x-5)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(3x^4\)

The leading term of a polynomial is the term with the greatest exponent of the variable. In the given polynomial, the exponents of \(3x^4\), \(-2x^2\), \(x\), and \(-5\) are 4, 2, 1, and 0 respectively. Hence, \(3x^4\) is the leading term. Although \(-2x^2\) has the next highest power, its exponent is only 2. Exam tip: identify the term with the greatest exponent to find the leading term.
