Those words refer to the degree, or highest exponent that modifies a variable, or the polynomial. Constant=No variables in the polynomialLinear=Variable raised to the first powerQuadratic=Variable...
Whenever there are polynomials of the form aX2+bX+c=0 then this type of equation is know as a quadratic equation. to solve these we usually break b into two parts such that there product is equal to...
It is a polynomial if the square root is in a coefficient but not if it is applied to the variable. A polynomial can have only integer powers of the variable.Thus: sqrt(2)*x3 + 4*x + 3 is a...
