Front

How do you find the leading coefficient of a polynomial?

Back

The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the term with the highest degree.

Front

What is the significance of the leading term in a polynomial function?

Back

The leading term determines the end behavior of the polynomial.

Front

What does it mean for a polynomial to be factored completely?

Back

A polynomial is factored completely when it is expressed as a product of its linear factors.

Front

What is the Remainder Theorem?

Back

The Remainder Theorem states that the remainder of the division of a polynomial f(x) by x - c is f(c).
