A polynomial is a combination of terms separated by

or

signs. A polynomial does not contain variables raised to negative or fractional exponents, variables in the denominator or under a radical, or any special features such as trigonometric functions, or logarithms.

P(x) = 5x² + 5x + 7

"This is a polynomial because it is a 2nd degree trinomial or quadratic".

"Poly: meaning many, and nominal: meaning terms, combine to form the expression: "many terms".
