LOok in your textbook. There should be examples to showing you how to solve them.

you can't solve a polynomial. But if you set a polynomial equal to zero you you have a polynomial equation. You can solve that.
Quadratic equations such as Ax^2 + Bx + C = 0 can be solved by factoring, completing the square, or by using the quadratic formula.

It depends on what degree you are talking about.
If it is degree of two, eg:
4x^2 -2x + 7 = 0,
then there are many ways to solve this equation, but i suggest one huge universal one:
x= [-b +/-square root of (b^2 -4ac)] over 2a
where a=coefficient of x^2, b=coefficient of x and c=constant.
In this case, a is 4, b is -2 and c is 7
If the polynomial has degrees of above 2, then i suggest the factor theorem.
go look it up on the web, its kinda complicated. Sorry I couldnt be of much help.

polynomials are solved with factoring. It's not ez. It takes several chapters of a good math book to teach it, more than the space I have here. Basicly factoring is dividing a problem into its parts. Sounds ez? It's not. Think I will create a factoring calculator and put it on my site poodwaddle.com Check there tomorrow and see if you can find it.

What's a polynaminal? Polynomials I know about, but not polynaminals.

Calculator or many other Mathematical techniques.

use foil to exand the polynaminal and you have you answer
