Sound energy is mechanical, it involves the movement of atoms. The energy in a sound wave is both kinetic and potential. Just as in a vibrating spring, the medium has mass a â¦ nd moves and so moving mass is kinetic energy. Just as in the spring there is compression and rarefaction, so there is elastic potential energy.
A polynomial is a mathematical expression consisting of a sum of terms, each term including a variable or variables raised to a power and multiplied by a coefficient. The simplest polynomials have one variable. anxn + an-1xn-1 + ... where the a's represent the coefficients and x represents the variable.
polynomial. mathematical expression which is a finite sum, each term being a constant times a product of one or more variables raised to powers. With only one variable the general form of a polynomial is a 0 x + a 1 x + a 2 x +â¦+ a nâ1 x + an where n is a positive integer and a 0, a 1, a 2, â¦ , an are any numbers.n example of a polynomial in one variable is 11 x 4 â3 x 3 +7 x 2 + x â8. The degree of a polynomial in one variable is the highest power of the variable appearing with a nonzero coefficient; in the example given above, the degree is 4.
