Leading coefficient: 15
Degree: 2

The leading coefficient is equal to the coefficient of the term with the highest exponent. The highest exponent in this case is 2, so v^2 would be our term with the highest exponent, and 15 is it’s coefficient.

The degree is equal to the highest exponent in the function, which in this case would be 2, as we discovered previously.

Hope this helps.
