Answer 1

Meaning of a polynomial function:

The term Polynomial is formed by combing two terms Poly and nomial. The term Poly means many and nomial means terms.

so, Polynomial stands for consisting of many terms.

Polynomial function: A Polynomial function is an expression that is obtained by combining the variables, constant terms and exponents. The exponent power must be a non negative integer. There are different types o functions and polynomial function is one of the important one.

The polynomial function is of the form:

$f\left(x\right)=a{x}^n+b{x}^{n-1}+.....\alpha x+\beta$

The degree of the polynomial is the highest power of the variable.

Thus, a polynomial function is a function that contains a positive exponents of variable along with the constant numbers.
