What is Polynomial?
1.
a mathematical term which has no use in real life,
unless u like finding out how much space something takes up.
which no one really does.
i like polynomials tho.they are easy to factor and stuff like dat.
"if a house is a rectangle 2x by 1.5x on a plot of land that was 23x by 21x, find out if they have enough land to plot a new garage, 17x by 11x."
"who is THEY?!"

An expression such as
x^3 + 2x^2 - 6x - 2, is a cubic expression.
3x - 4 is linear
x^2 + 5x - 10 is quadratic
These types of expressions can be extended to include higher powers of x, such as
x^5 + 3x^3 - 2x^2 + 3
4x^6 + 2x^4 - x^3 + 5
Expressions of this type are called polynomials.
Note: Polynomials do not have negative or fractional powers. n is a non-negative integer.
The
An expression of the form
ax^n + bx^(n-1) + ... + px^2 + qx + r
(where a, b, ..., p, q, r are constants is called a polynomial in x)
3x^5 + 3x^4 - 2x^2 -1 is a polynomial of degree 5.
A constant expression is a polynomial of degree 0
A linear expression is a polynomial of degree 1
a quadratic expression is a polynomial of degree 2
a cubic expression is a polynomial of degree 3
etc.

"Oh Bob, polynomial me harder"
" I polynomialed her hard last night......ooooooooo yeah!!!"
