Hope y'all pass! :)

Answer 2

-The polynomial has 5 terms.

-The leading coefficient is -2.

-The degree of the polynomial is 7.

-The constant term is 4.

Explanation:

A polynomial is an expression which has many terms. Each term is separated by addition or subtraction. The standard form of a polynomial is
`ax^6 + bx^5 + cx^4 + dx^3 + ex^2 ....` and is written in descending order by exponent. The highest exponent is known as the degree of the polynomial. The leading term at the beginning has a leading coefficient.

Using the information above, select what applies for -2xy^5+3x^7-10x^3y^6+8x^6+4.

-The polynomial has 5 terms.

-The leading coefficient is -2.

-The degree of the polynomial is 7.

-The constant term is 4.

-The polynomial is in decreasing degree order.
