Hello, I had a question on how to find the leading coefficient and the degree.

Given:
given polynomial is
[tex]23v^5-2v+4v^8-18v^4[/tex]Find:
we have to find the leading coefficient and degree of the polynomial.
Explanation:
The lewading coefficient is the coefficient of highest power term of the polynomial.
Highest power of v is 8 and its coefficient is 4.
Therfore, leading coefficient is 4.
and the degree of the polynomial is equal to the highest power of v in the polynomial, which is 8.
Therefore, the leading coefficient of polynomial is 4 and degree is 8.
