Tutorial - Detrmining the Leading coefficient and degree of a polynomial with a fraction ex 14

The video tutorial explains how to classify a polynomial and determine its leading coefficient and degree. It begins by identifying the polynomial's terms and arranging them in descending order of exponents. The leading coefficient is identified as the coefficient of the term with the highest power. The degree of the polynomial is the power of this leading term. The tutorial emphasizes that the process remains consistent regardless of the coefficient's form, even if it is a fraction.
