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.
The highest power of the polynomial is called the degree of the polynomial. Degree of the polynomial is also called the order of the polynomial. While finding the degree of the polynomial, the polynomial powers of the variables should be either in ascending or descending order.
