Classify a polynomial and determine degree and leading coefficient

The video tutorial explains how to classify polynomials based on their degree and leading coefficient. It starts with an example of a polynomial function, FX equals negative X to the 5th, and identifies its degree and leading coefficient. The tutorial then reviews the degrees of different polynomial types, from constant to kinetic, and concludes with a classification of the given polynomial as a kinetic function.
