chosen.content: You can use the `lambda` function to define a polynomial in Python. Here is an example for the equation "x^2 + 2x + 1":
  
  # Create a polynomial function
  fx = lambda x: x**2 + 2*x + 1
  
  # Evaluate the function with a value
  number = fx(10)
  print(number)
  
  The `lambda` function takes the argument `x` and defines an expression for that argument, in this case the polynomial "x^2 + 2x + 1" as `x**2 + 2*x + 1`. Entering a value into the function will evaluate it with respect to that value and return the total, which can then be printed. Lambda functions are useful when a simple function is required for brief use because they reduce the number of lines in comparison to using `def`, making the code more concise.
