Polynomial
[edit | edit source]A polynomial is a variable that has the general form
Here, the literals represent any constant numbers.
Monomial
[edit | edit source]Polynomials with highest degree as 1 are called Monomials. Monomial has the general form
Consider as a monomial function of x.
- x | y
- -2 | -4
- -1 | -1
- 0 | 0
- 1 | 1
- 2 | 2
