Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

The given polynomial is

(i) the degree of the polynomial is 6 as the highest power of the variable x in the given polynomial is 6.

(ii) the coefficient of x³ is 1/5 in the given polynomial as the given polynomial can be re-written as

(iii) the coefficient of x⁶ is – 1

(iv) the constant term is 1/5 as it has no variable x with it.
