    Nothing new about leading coefficient. Definition says it can't be zero. It can always be made equal to one by dividing through.

    Constant term cannot be zero unless a root is zero.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    x-3/4 = 0 has root 3/4 constant term - 3/4

    (x-3/4) (x-b) = 0 has roots 3/4 and b, constant term 3b/4 which is zero only if b is zero.

    (x-3/4) (x-b) (x-c) = 0 has roots 3/4, b, c, constant term - 3bc/4 which is zero only if b or c is zero.

    Etc ...
