1. identify the name and label the parts of the following polynomial: -2x4+24x2-10 a. name the polynomial by degree and number of terms b. identify the lead coefficient c. identify the constant term d. identify the degree of the middle term 2. give an example of a cubic binomial polynomial 3. how many constants can a polynomial have? explain your answer. 4.explain in detail why the degree of the polynomial below is not 6. 3x2+6xy-10x5+y6-10x3y5

Please write this polynomial as P(x) = -2x^4+24x^2-10, using " ^ " to denote exponentiation.

This is a fourth degree polynomial, since the highest power of x is 4.  Ordinarily, a fourth degree poly would have 5 terms, but here two of the coefficients of the powers of x are zero, leaving only 3 terms.

The lead coeff. of  P(x) = -2x^4+24x^2-10  is -2.

The constant terms is -10.  The exponent of x here is zero (0).

The degree of the middle term is 2 (see 24x^2, above)

Would you please post your other questions separately.  Thank you.
