Answer:
A polynomial function is a relationship that provides a value that is determined by a polynomial for each input value.
Step-by-step explanation:
A polynomial is a mathematical expression constructed with constants and variables using the four operations:
Polynomial Example Degree
Constant 1 0
Linear 2x+1 1
Quadratic 3x2+2x+1 2
Cubic 4x3+3x2+2x+1 3
Quartic 5x4+4x3+3x2+2 x+1 4
In other words, we have been calculating with various polynomials all along. When two polynomials are divided it is called a rational expression.
In such cases you must be careful that the denominator does not equal zero. Division by zero is not defined and thus x may not have a value that allows the denominator to become zero. Otherwise, any other value may be substituted for x.
Example
x3−x6−x
x must not have the value of 6 since 6-6=0.
