For p(x) = 6x⁴ - x³ + 8x - 3, write the coefficient of x³, the coefficient of x², the constant term…

Step 1. $x^3$. The term is $-x^3$, so the coefficient is $-1$.

Step 2. $x^2$. There is no $x^2$ term, so its coefficient is $0$.

Step 3. The constant and the degree. The constant term is $-3$, and the highest power is $4$.
