Polynomial

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z overview
A polynomial $ p$ with degree $ n$ can be written as

$\displaystyle p(x) = a_0 + a_1 x + \cdots + a_n x^n $

with $ a_n\ne0$ .

The variable $ x$ and coefficients $ a_k$ can be real or complex. Correspondingly such a polynomial is called a real or complex polynomial.
