Polynomials in one variable are algebraic expressions that consist of terms in the form where n is a non-negative (i.e. positive or zero) integer and a is a real number and is called the coefficient of the term. The degree of a polynomial in one variable is the largest exponent in the polynomial. Note that we will often drop the âin one variableâ part and just say polynomial. Here are examples of polynomials and their degrees. So, a polynomial doesnât have to contain all powers of x as we see in the first example.
The standard form of a polynomial is : 1. All term with coefficients and variables must have the coefficient first. 2. You must arrange all terms according to their degree from highest to lowest 3. The leading coefficient must be positive ! 3.Examples of variables: X is the variable X Y is the variable Y ^2 Z is the variable Z. ~ Degree: of a polynomial is the highest exponent of all the terms in the expression.
