$6x^2-3x+\pi$

A polynomial function is in the form of $a_nx_n+a_{n-1}x_{n-1}+...+a_1x+a_0$ where $a_n\ne0$ and the coefficients are real. $a_n$ is the leading coefficient, and $n$ is the degree. Hence here the function in standard form is: $6x^2-3x+\pi$, which is a polynomial. Leading coefficient: $6$ Degree: $2$ Quadratic
