Determine if the function is a monomial function (given that c and k represent constants). If it is, state the degree and
leading coefficient.
-$$f ( x ) = - 5 \cdot x ^ { 4 }$$
A) Not a monomial function
B) Degree is 4; leading coefficient is $- 5$
C) Degree is 4 ; leading coefficient is 5
D) Degree is $- 5$; leading coefficient is 4

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The function $f(x) = -5 \cdot x^{4}$ is a monomial function because it consists of a single term. The degree of the monomial is 4, which is the exponent of $x$, and the leading coefficient is $-5$, which is the constant multiplier of the $x$ term.
