Explanation:
"the degree of a polynomial is the value of the largest"the degree of a polynomial is the value of the largest
"exponent of the variable in the polynomial"exponent of the variable in the polynomial
"the largest exponent of m here is 5"the largest exponent of m here is 5
rArr"polynomial of degree 5"⇒polynomial of degree 5
"expressing the polynomial in standard form"expressing the polynomial in standard form
8m^5+5m^2-28m5+5m2−2
"the leading term is " 8m^5the leading term is 8m5
rArr"the leading coefficient is 8"⇒the leading coefficient is 8
