Introduction on polynomials

Let us learn what is meant by polynomials,

let's say what a polynomial is: in words, it is a function that is built by simply adding together some power functions. For example,

More generally, a polynomial can be written as

The highest power that occurs in the polynomial, in this case n, is called the degree of the polynomial. Degree 2 polynomials are usually called quadratic polynomials and should be quite familiar; for instance, their graphs are parabolas. The numbers ai in front of the powers are called coefficients.
