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.
Updated October 02, 2016. Degree - The greatest exponent in a polynomial or equation. Example: 3x13 + 5x3 (Degree: 13) h5 + h4 + h8 + h3 + h12 + h2 + 13h (Degree: 12) y = -5b + 19 (Degree : 1; Note, b is raised to the 1st power.) Æ(x) = 5x9 - 5 (Degree: 9)
