Hello there!
First, we must define the words "leading coefficient" and "constant."
Take a look at the simple definitions...
Leading coefficient- the number behind the term with the highest exponent
Constant- the number without any variable in front of it
This means that for the polynomial
5x+2-3x^2 the leading coefficient is -3 because it is the number behind the term with the highest exponent! The constant is 2 because there are no variables behind it.
I really hope this helps!
Best wishes :)
