Multiple Choice

Write the polynomial in descending order. Then identify the leading coefficient and the degree. $$- 2 x + 8 + 2 x ^ { 4 }$$

A) $8 + 2 x ^ { 4 } - 2 x$ ; leading coefficient: 8 ; degree: 4
B) $2 x ^ { 4 } - 2 x + 8$ ; leading coefficient: 2 ; degree: 4
C) $2 x ^ { 4 } - 2 x + 8$ ; leading coefficient: 2 ; degree: 3
D) $8 + 2 x ^ { 4 } - 2 x$ ; leading coefficient: 8 ; degree: 3
