Answer: The leading coefficient is 1 and the degree is 6.


Step-by-step explanation:

1. By definition, the degree of the polynomial is the greatest exponent. As you can see the greatest exponent is 6, therefore, it is a polynomial of degree six.

2. By definition, the leading coefficient is the number that multiply the term with the greatest exponent. Therefore, the leading coefficient of the polynomial shown above is 1.
