types of polynomial with definition
Linear Polynomial : If the polynomial is of degree one then it is called a Linear Polynomial. Example : are linear polynomials. Quadratic Polynomial: If the degree of the polynomial is two then it is called a Quadratic polynomial. Example : are Quadratic polynomial. Cubic Polynomial: If the degree the polynomial is three then it is called a Cubic polynomial. Example : are Cubic polynomials.
A polynomial function has the form , where are real numbers and n is a nonnegative integer. In other words, a polynomial is the sum of one or more monomials with real coefficients and nonnegative integer exponents. The degree of the polynomial function is the highest value for n where an is not equal to 0. Polynomial functions of only one term are called monomials or power functions. A power function has the form .
