This is similar to Problem 2 from your Section 4.2 worksheet.

Give the leading term, leading coefficient, and degree of each of the following polynomials.

(a) $-19 x^7+18 x^2-9-x^5$
Leading term: (make sure to use a lowercase "x")
Leading coefficient:
Degree:

(b) $-5 y^3-8 y + 9 y^5+15$
Leading term: (make sure to use a lowercase "y")
Leading coefficient:
Degree:

(c) $5 x^5 - 7 - x^4-8 x^6$
Leading term: (make sure to use a lowercase "x")
Leading coefficient:
Degree:

(d) $14 y^4+15 y^5-y^3-10 y^2$
Leading term: (make sure to use a lowercase "y")
Leading coefficient:
Degree:
