1.5 Introduction to Polynomial Functions By adding constant multiples of basic polynomial functions (called monomials), we build the Polynomial Family of functions. 5) For example, adding 7x2, ¹, and -5, gives us the polynomialfunction: 1 f(x)=7x² + x¹-5 3 a) 7x² is a term of the polynomial function f. What are its other terms? b) The leading term of the polynomial function f is 1x. What do you think is meant by "leading term" of a polynomial? c) The degree of the polynomial function f is 4. What do you think is meant by the "degree" of a polynomial? d) The leading coefficient of the polynomial function f is What do you think is meant by "leading coefficient" of a polynomial?
