Concept explainers
To define: the terms monomial and polynomial.
Explanation of Solution
A polynomial function is of the form
Terms of a polynomial function should be arranged in descending order according to its degree to express it in a standard form and degree of each term should be a positive integer or whole number. The coefficients should be real numbers.
Leading coefficient of a polynomial function is the coefficient of the leading term.
Degree of the polynomial is the degree of leading term or the height degree in the polynomial function.
For the polynomial
If the polynomial has only one term in it, then it would be called a monomial.
