The given polynomial :
[tex]12x+4x^2-x^5+3[/tex]Standard form of polynomial :
Polynomials in is called standard form when the terms are ordered in highest degree to lowest degree.
In the given polynomial the highest degree is 5, then 2, then 1
So, the polynomial is arrange as :
[tex]12x+4x^2-x^5+3=-x^5+4x^2+12x+3[/tex]The standard form of the given polnomial is ;
[tex]-x^5+4x^2+12x+3[/tex]The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the hoghest degree variable.
Here the highest degree is 5 and the coefficient related to x^5 is (-1)
So, Leading coefficient = (-1)
Answer : Standard Form :
[tex]-x^5+4x^2+12x+3[/tex]Leading coefficient = (-1)
