If the following is a polynomial function, then state its degree and leading coefficient. if it is not, then state this fact. f(x) = -13x^5 - 4x^4 - 1 degree: 5; leading coefficient: -13 degree: -13; leading coefficient: 5 degree: 9; leading coefficient: -13 not a polynomial function

By definition, a polynomial is an expression with more than one term. That is a monomial. We have names for 2-termed polynomials (binomials) and 3-termed polynomials (trinomials), but that's where the naming stops and they all are called polynomials after that. Our degree is the same as the highest exponent. So our degree is a fifth degree. The leading coefficient is the number that starts out the whole polynomial AS LONG AS IT IS IN STANDARD FORM. If our polynomial started with the -4x^4, our leading coefficient would NOT be -4 since the highest degree'd term will always come first in standard form. Your choice for your answer is the first one given. Degree: 5 Leading Coefficient: -13.

the least value out of the data shown is 5, maybe if you post a picture with it i could a little more.

step-by-step explanation:

aloha~! my name is zalgo and i am here to you out on this amazing day. to answer your question, yes, nonzero numbers can have a greatest common factor and that would be 1. still don't get it? let me considering every number is divisible by 1 and hence every number has 1 as a factor of theirs. so, if 2 nonzero numbers didn't share any gcf (greatest common factor), they would still have a factor in common and that would be 1.

i hope that this ! : p

(by the way, do you mind marking me as brainliest? i'd greatly appreciate it! mahalo! x3)
