Question

How do you write `11t+2t^2-3+t^5` in standard form and what is the leading coefficients?

Answer 1

See the solution explanation below:

Explanation:

To write this expression in standard form we put the terms in order of the highest exponent to lowest:

`11t + 2t^2 - 3 + t^5` becomes:

`t^5 + 2t^2 + 11t - 3`

The leading coefficient for the `t^5` term is `1`:

`1t^5 + 2t^2 + 11t - 3`
