–8
–4
0
1

Answer 1

1

Explanation:

The answer above is correct.

Answer 2

Answer: The value of the leading coefficient of the quadratic function f(x) = x^2 – 8x – 4 is 1.

Explanation:

The leading coefficient of a quadratic function is the coefficient of the highest degree term of the function, which is the squared term x^2 in this case.

The given quadratic function f(x) = x^2 – 8x – 4 is already in standard form, where the coefficient of the squared term is 1. Therefore, the leading coefficient of the function is 1.
