$color(green)("Leading Term is ") color(blue)( 3x^5$

$color(green)("Leading degree " = 5,) color(blue)(" exponent of " 3x^5$

$color(green)("Leading coefficient " = 3,) color(blue)( " coefficient of " 3x^5$

$f(x) = 3x^5 + 6x^4 - x - 3$

$color(green)("Leading Term is ") color(blue)( 3x^5$

$color(green)("Leading degree " = 5,) color(blue)(" exponent of " 3x^5$
.
3. Identify the coefficient of the leading term.

$color(green)("Leading coefficient " = 3,) color(blue)( " coefficient of " 3x^5$

What is the leading term, leading coefficient, and degree of this polynomial f(x) = 3x^5 + 6x^4 – x – 3f(x) = 3x^5 + 6x^4 – x – 3?
