The degree of the term of the polynomial with the greatest degree is called

Degree of the polynomial.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise it is important to remember that, by definition, you can find the "Degree of a polynomial" by identifying the greatest degree of its terms.

 The "Leading term" of a polynomial is defined as the term with the highest power of the variable of the polynomial.

The numbers located in front to the variable (those numbers that multiply the variable) are called "Coefficients". The coefficient of the Leading term is known as the "Leading coefficient.

For example, given the following polynomial:

You can identify that, in this case:

answer:

(-8,7)

explanation:

we know that  

f

(

−

3

)

=

7

therefore, if we wish to get the output as 7, in the function, we need to have our input to be -3.

looking at the function  

f

(

x

+

5

)

, what should the value of x be, such that the input in the function becomes 7?

we simply equate the terms,

x

+

5

=

−

3

x

=

−

8

thus, the point on the new function would be  

(

−

8

,

7

)
