Polynomials (Definition, Types and Examples)

Polynomials are algebraic expressions that consist of variables and coefficients. Variables are also sometimes called indeterminates. We can perform arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and also positive integer exponents for polynomial expressions but not division by variable. An example of a polynomial with one variable is x2+x-12. In this example, there are three terms: x2, x and -12.Also, Check: What is MathematicsThe word polynomial is derived from the Greek words ‘poly’ means ‘many‘ and ‘nominal’ means ‘terms‘, so altogether it is said as “many terms”. A polynomial can have any number of terms but not infinite. Let’s learn about the degrees, terms, types, properties, and polynomial functions in this article.Table of Contents:DefinitionNotationDegreeTermsTypesMonomialBinomialTrinomialPropertiesEquationsFunctionSolving PolynomialsLinear PolynomialQuadratic PolynomialOperationsAdditionSubtractionMultiplicationDivisionExamplesFAQsWhat is a Polynomial?P...
