A polynomial in. x is defined as a finite sum of terms of the form axn, where a is a real number and. the exponent nis a whole number. For each term,a is called the coefficient, and n. is called the degree of the term. For example: If a polynomial has exactly one term, it is categorized as a monomial. A two-. term polynomial is called a binomial, and a three-term polynomial is called a. trinomial. Usually the terms of a polynomial are written in descending order. according to degree. In descending order, the highest-degree term is written first.
To determine the degree of a polynomial that is not in standard form ( for example ( x + 1 ) 2 â ( x â 1 ) 2 { \ displaystyle ( x + 1 ) ^ { 2 } - ( x-1 ) ^ { 2 } } ) , one has to put it first in standard form by expanding the products ( by distributivity ) and combining the like terms ; for example ( x + 1 ) 2 â ( x â 1 ) 2 = 4 x { \ displaystyle ( ...
