Identify the given function: \( f(x) = 3x^2 + 5x + 2 \).
Check if the function is a polynomial: A polynomial function is an expression consisting of variables and coefficients, involving only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponents of variables.
Since \( f(x) = 3x^2 + 5x + 2 \) involves only non-negative integer exponents (2 and 1) and operations of addition and multiplication, it is a polynomial function.
Write the polynomial in standard form: The standard form of a polynomial arranges the terms in descending order of their exponents. The given function is already in standard form: \( 3x^2 + 5x + 2 \).
Determine the degree and leading coefficient: The degree of a polynomial is the highest exponent of the variable, which is 2 in this case. The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the term with the highest degree, which is 3.
