This week, I learned some new polynomial vocabulary, including what constant, linear, quadratic, cubic, quartic, and quintic polynomials are. I also learned how to find the leading term.
Here are some examples of the different types of polynomials:
Constant polynomial:
A constant polynomial has a degree of 0. It can also just be referred to as a constant.
ex. 3
Linear polynomial:
A linear polynomial has a degree of 1.
ex. 9x-7
Quadratic polynomial:
A quadratic polynomial has a degree of 2.
ex.
Cubic polynomial:
A cubic polynomial has a degree of 3.
ex.
Quartic polynomial:
A quartic polynomial has a degree of 4.
ex.
Quintic polynomial:
A quintic polynomial has a degree of 5.
How to find the leading term:
The leading term is the term in a polynomial with the highest power, and not necessarily the first term in the polynomial. For example: when
