In mathematics, a polynomial is an expression in which a finite number of constants and variables are combined using only addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative whole number exponents (raising to a power).

an expression with more than one term, each of these having variables with whole number exponents.

EX. A polynomial is named by the number of terms it has. 2. adj. many term. EX. A polynomial function is one which when written in symbolic form is a polynomial -- for example
3*x^2, 5*x^3+4*x^2+x+7 or -4*x^6+9x^4+7

polynomial

In algebra, an expression consisting of numbers and variables grouped according to certain patterns. Specifically, polynomials are sums of monomials of the form axn, where a (the coefficient) can be any real number and n (the degree) must be a whole number. A polynomial's degree is that of its monomial of highest degree. Like whole numbers, polynomials may be prime or factorable into products of primes. They may contain any number of variables, provided that the power of each variable is a nonnegative integer. They are the basis of algebraic equation solving. Setting a polynomial equal to zero results in a polynomial equation; equating it to a variable results in a polynomial function, a particularly useful tool in modeling physical situations. Polynomial equations and functions can be analyzed completely by methods of algebra and calculus.
