What is the leading coefficient of each fungtion?
what is the leading coefficient -3x+8
How do you find zeros when the leading coefficient is one?
The answer depends on the what the leading coefficient is of!
What is the difference in finding the m and n when factoring a polynomial with a leading coefficient that does not equal one?
The difference depends on what m and n equal. If they are both variable then it dpends on what the equations are for each variable.
All polynomials have at least one maximum?
Not quite. The point at infinity cannot be regarded as a maximum since the value will continue to increase asymptotically. As a result no polynomial of odd degree can have a maximum. Only polynomials of an even degree whose leading coefficient is negative will have a global maximum.
Does a polynomial with a leading term with an even exponent must have at least one real zero?
No.
