Learn how to classify and identify the lc and degree of a polynomial

The video tutorial explains how to identify the leading coefficient and classify polynomials. It begins with ensuring the polynomial is in descending order, highlighting the importance of understanding the degree and leading coefficient. The degree is the highest power of the polynomial, while the leading coefficient is the coefficient of this term. The tutorial also covers classifying polynomials by the number of terms and degree, providing a comprehensive understanding of polynomial classification.
