If the polynomial is in terms of the variable x, then look for the term with the biggest power (the suffix after the x) of x. That term is the leading term.
So the leading term of x2 + 5 + 4x + 3x6 + 2x3 is 3x6
If you are likely to do any further work with the polynomial, it would be a good idea to arrange it in order of the descending powers of x anyway.

The rational roots of a polynomial function F(x) can be written in the form where p is a factor of the constant term of the polynomial and q is a factor of the leading coefficient.?

Can a polynomial term have zero?
Yes.
Degree of a terms of polynomial?
The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of its terms. The degree of a term is the sum of the exponents of the variables that appear in it.For example, the polynomial 8x2y3 + 5x - 10 has three terms. The first term has a degree of 5, the second term has a degree of 1, and the last term has a degree of 0. Therefore, the polynomial is degree five.
What is the degree of this term 4xy?
It is a polynomial of degree one in x, and also a polynomial of degree one in y.
How do you multiply monomial by a polynomial?
you foil it out.... for example take the first number or variable of the monomial and multiply it by everything in the polynomial...
