Question

identify the terms, the degree of each term and the degree of the polynomial. then identify the leading term
$2a^{10} + 11a^{11}t^4 + 5a^5t^5 + 9a^5 - 4$
the degree of the first term is 10.
the degree of the second term is 15.
the degree of the third term is 10.
the degree of the fourth term is 5.
the degree of the fifth term is 0.
the degree of the polynomial $2a^{10} + 11a^{11}t^4 + 5a^5t^5 + 9a^5 - 4$ is 15.
the leading term of the polynomial is \\(\square\\).

Explanation:

Step1: Recall leading term definition

The leading term of a polynomial is the term with the highest degree.

Step2: Match highest degree to term

The polynomial's highest degree is 15, which corresponds to the term $11a^{11}t^{4}$.

Answer:

$11a^{11}t^{4}$
