Given:
f(x)=x^3(3−4x^2−3x^2)
First, distribute x^3
f(x)= 3x^3 - 4x^5 - 3x^5
Add like terms
f(x)= 3x^3 -7x^5
Order from Highest to lowest exponent:
f(x)= -7x^5 + 3x^3
The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the highest order x term.
The degree is the exponent of the highest order x term.
Answer:
Degree = 5
Leading coefficient = -7
