Classify a polynomial and determine degree and Leading coefficient

The video tutorial explains how to classify a polynomial by first writing it in descending order. It identifies the constant term, writes the polynomial with the variable as the first term, and determines the degree and leading coefficient. The tutorial concludes by classifying the polynomial as linear, given its degree is one.

What is the first step in classifying a polynomial?

• Determine the degree of the polynomial

• Find the leading coefficient

• Identify the constant term
