Guided Notes
Key concepts students will learn:
- •
The degree of a polynomial function is determined by the highest power of the variable in the function.
- •
The leading term is the term that contains the highest power of the variable, and the leading coefficient is the coefficient of the leading term.
- •
Polynomial functions are often written in descending order, where terms are arranged from the highest degree to the lowest degree.
