A polynomial is defined as an expression that is composed of variables, constants and non negative integral exponents, that are combined using mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Based on the number of terms present in the expression, it is classified as

  • Monomial – A monomial is an expression that contains only one term.
  • Binomial – A binomial is a polynomial expression that contains exactly two terms. A binomial can be considered as a sum or difference between two monomials.
