[B] MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTION What is the leading term in the polynomial f(x)=-5x^3+2x^6+7x-2x^5+1 -2x^5 -5x^3 2x^6 7x

## Step 1: Arrange the Polynomial in Descending Order of Exponents<br />### We arrange the terms of the polynomial $f(x)$ from the highest power of $x$ to the lowest: $f(x) = 2x^6 - 2x^5 - 5x^3 + 7x + 1$.<br /><br />## Step 2: Identify the Leading Term<br />### The leading term of a polynomial is the term with the highest power of the variable. In the rearranged polynomial $f(x) = 2x^6 - 2x^5 - 5x^3 + 7x + 1$, the term with the highest power of $x$ is $2x^6$.
