Find the degree of each term. The greatest degree is the degree of the polynomial.
e.g. the degree of x2+x+1 is 2, the degree of x3+x2+x+1 is 3 etc
No. A polynomial can have as many degrees as you like.
An example of a polynomial with 3 terms is 3x3 + 4x + 20, because there are 3 different degrees of x in the polynomial.
13 is not a polynomial.
Find values of the variable for which the value of the polynomial is zero.
You need to find the perimeter at the first few iterations and find out what the sequence is. It could be an arithmetic sequence or a polynomial of a higher degree: you need to find out the generating polynomial. Then substitute the iteration number in place of the variable in this polynomial.
The degree of a polynomial is the highest power that appears in the polynomial. For more than one variable, you must add the powers for each variable, for example, a3b2 is of degree 3 + 2 = 5.

A single polynomial cannot have a greatest commonfactor. There is nothing that it will be in common with!

Trigonometric functions are calculated using a polynomial approximation. The exact polynomial used may be different on different calculators.
