Determine the degree and leading coefficient of a polynomial not in descending order

The video tutorial explains how to determine the degree and coefficient of a polynomial by focusing on the leading term. It emphasizes arranging monomials in descending order of power, clarifies the concept of X to the zero power, and highlights the importance of identifying the leading term. The degree is determined by the highest power, and the leading coefficient is the coefficient of the leading term.
