Yes, the leading coefficient of a polynomial function can be a fraction. A polynomial is defined as a sum of terms, each consisting of a coefficient (which can be any real number, including fractions) multiplied by a variable raised to a non-negative integer power. Thus, the leading coefficient, which is the coefficient of the term with the highest degree, can indeed be a fraction.
No. It would not be a polynomial function then.
Yes, -4x is a polynomial. A polynomial is an expression that consists of variables raised to non-negative integer powers, multiplied by coefficients. In this case, -4 is the coefficient and x is the variable raised to the first power, which meets the criteria for a polynomial. Thus, -4x is a linear polynomial.
Amongst polynomial graphs, it is when the coefficient of the highest power of the variable (x) is negative.
A polynomial is a sum of a finite number of terms in which each term is of the form a*Xn where a is a coefficient, X is a variable and n is a non-negative integer.a may be integer, rations, real or complex;X may be a numerical variable or a matrix.

true
Leading coefficient: Negative. Order: Any even integer.

A polynomial function of a variable,x, can be written as a sum of non-negative integer powers of x. For example, f(x) = 5x5 + 27x2 - 37/3 x + 2.36.
Not necessarily. Every exponent in the exponent must be a non-negative integer. This is not what you have specified. For example, if n = 3.5, it is not a term in a polynomial expression.
It is the Coefficient. It only refers to the given term that it is front. e.g. 2x^2 - 3x + 1 The '2' in front of 'x^2' only refers to 'x^2'. The '-3' in front of 'x' is the coefficient of '-3' The '1' is a constant.
Any multiple of X^2+X/2-1/2
Yes, a coefficient of a variable can be negative.
A polynomial is a sum of a finite number of terms in which each term is of the form a*Xn where a is a coefficient, X is a variable and n is a non-negative integer.a may be integer, rations, real or complex;X may be a numerical variable or a matrix.
Polynomial terms are expressions that consist of a coefficient and a variable raised to a non-negative integer exponent. Examples include (3x^2), (-5y^3), and (7z) (which can be considered as (7z^1)). A single constant, like (4), is also a polynomial term since it can be viewed as (4x^0).
