What is the leading term, leading coefficient, and degree of this polynomial p(x)=2(2x+3)(x-1)(x+2)?

You should first approach this problem by multiplying the entire function out through FOIL, and get ${\displaystyle p\left(x\right)=4x^3+10x^2-2x-12}$.
Then identify the leading term, leading coefficient, and degree of this polynomial by definition.
Leading term: ${\displaystyle 4x^3}$
Leading coefficient: 4
Degree of polynomial: 3

Find the degree, the leading coefficient, and the leading term of p(x)=2(2x+3)(x-1)(x+2).
p(x)=2(2x+3)(x-1)(x+2) = (x-1)(x+2)(4x+6)
Solution:
The degree of a polynomial is the highest of the degrees of the polynomials
