n.
- A taxonomic designation consisting of more than two terms.
- Mathematics.
- An algebraic expression consisting of one or more summed terms, each term consisting of a constant multiplier and one or more variables raised to integral powers. For example, x2 − 5x + 6 and 2p3q + y are polynomials. Also called multinomial.
- An expression of two or more terms.

Why do you think the definition for polynomials is so restrictive?
The definition for polynomials is very restrictive. This is because it will give more information. It excludes radicals, negative exponents, and fractional exponents. When these are included, the expression becomes rational and not polynomial.
Polynomials have factors that are?
Other polynomials of the same, or lower, order.
Is two terms a polynomial if the definition says more than two terms. Is a bi-nomial not part of the set of polynomials?
Two terms is a binomial. More than two terms is a polynomial. Binomials are not part of the set of polynomials.
How polynomials and non polynomials are alike?
they have variable
What are polynomials that have factors called?
Reducible polynomials.
