  What is a Polynomial? Polynomial is made up of two terms, namely Poly (meaning “many”) and Nominal (meaning “terms.”). A polynomial is defined as an expression which is composed of variables, constants and exponents, that are combined using mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division (No division operation by a variable). Based on the number of terms present in the expression, it is classified as monomial, binomial, and trinomial. Examples of constants, variables and exponents are as follows: Constants. Example: 1, 2, 3, etc. Variables. Example: g, h, x, y, etc. Exponents: Example: 5 in x 5  etc. Standard Form of a Polynomial P(x) = a n x n  + a n-1 x n-1  +a n-2 x n-2  + ………………. + a 1 x + a 0     Where a n , a n-1 , a n-2 , ……………………, a 1 , a 0  are called coefficients of x n , x n-1 , x n-2 , ….., x and constant term respectively and it should belong to real number (⋲ R).
