How to identify the LC, degree and end behavior of a polynomial with classification

The video tutorial explains how to determine the degree of a polynomial by ensuring it is in descending order. It demonstrates rewriting a polynomial to identify its degree and leading coefficient. The tutorial classifies the polynomial as quadratic and a binomial, and discusses its end behavior using the leading coefficient test. The instructor emphasizes the importance of reviewing notes and paying attention to the material.

What is the first step in determining the degree of a polynomial?

• Arrange the terms in ascending order

• Arrange the terms in descending order

• Find the sum of the coefficients

• Identify the constant term

If a polynomial has a degree of two, what type of polynomial is it?

• Linear

• Quadratic

• Quartic

• Cubic

How many terms does a binomial have?

• One

• Four

• Three

• Two

What determines the end behavior of a polynomial?

• The constant term

• The degree of the polynomial

• The leading coefficient

• The number of terms

What is the significance of the leading coefficient test?

• It determines the polynomial's degree

• It helps in finding the roots of the polynomial

• It classifies the polynomial as monomial or binomial

• It predicts the end behavior of the polynomial
