Those words refer to the degree, or highest exponent that modifies a variable, or the polynomial.Constant=No variables in the polynomialLinear=Variable raised to the first powerQuadratic=Variable raised to the second power (or "squared")Cubic=Variable raised to the third power (or "cubed")Quartic=Variable raised to the fourth powerQuintic=Variable raised to the fifth powerAnything higher than that is known as a "6th-degree" polynomial, or "21st-degree" polynomial. It all depends on the highest exponent in the polynomial. Remember, exponents modifying a constant (normal number) do not count.
Power functions are functions of the form f(x) = ax^n, where a and n are constants and n is a real number. Exponential functions are functions of the form f(x) = a^x, where a is a constant and x is a real number. The key difference is that in power functions, the variable x is raised to a constant exponent, while in exponential functions, a constant base is raised to the variable x. Additionally, exponential functions grow at a faster rate compared to power functions as x increases.
it can either mean the number e raised as an exponent or it can mean just simply and exponent.
It depends on the power to which the single variable is raised in that one term.
Terms that contain the same variable is called "like terms".
