Part B: The degree of the polynomial is:

Part C: The number of terms in the polynomial is:

Part D: The leading term of the polynomials:

Part E: The leading coefficient of the polynomial is:

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the polynomial 2x⁵ + 4x³ - 3x⁸. The polynomial is not yet in standard form. For a polynomial to be in standard form, the power of the variables must decrease as we progress to the right of the expression.

A) The polynomial in standard form is therefore   - 3x⁸ + 2x⁵ + 4x³. We can see that the power are reducing as we move through each terms i.e from 8 to 5 then to 3.

B) The degree of a polynomial is the maximum degree among all the terms of the polynomial. The term that has the maximum degree is -3x⁸. Hence, the degree of the polynomial is 8

C) There are only 3 terms in the polynomial given. The terms are separated by mathematical signs. The terms if the polynomial are 2x⁵,  4x³ and - 3x⁸.

D) The leading term of the polynomial is the term that comes first after rewriting the polynomial in standard format. Given the standard from of the polynomial given as  -3x⁸ + 2x⁵ + 4x³, the leading term will be  - 3x⁸

E) Given the leading term to be  - 3x⁸, the leading coefficient of the polynomial will be the coefficient of the leading term. The coefficient of -3x⁸ is -3

the answer is d
