Introduction -

Each real number ai is called a coefficient. The number a0  that is not multiplied by a variable is called a constant. Each product  a_{i}x_{i} is a term of a polynomial. The highest power of the variable that occurs in the polynomial is called the degree of a polynomial. The leading term is the term with the highest power, and its coefficient is called the leading coefficient. 

Example

(i) 3 x+5 is a polynomial in x of degree 1

(ii) 8 x^{2}-5 x+3 is a polynomial in x of degree 2

(iii) 2 y^{3}+\frac{4}{9} y^{2}-5 y+\sqrt{3} is a polynomial in y of degree 3

(iv) 3 z^{4}-5 z^{3}+2 z^{2}-8 z+1 is a polynomial in z of degree 4

 

-

The degree of the polynomial x^{2}-5 x+4 {x}+3 is 2.
