How many terms can a polynomial have?
As many as you like. The highest power of the variable in question (usually x) defines the degree of the polynomial. If the degree is n, the polynomial can have n+1 terms. (If there are more then the polynomial can be reduced.) But there is NO LIMIT to the value of n.
What is the standard form for a polynomial?
The standard form of a polynomial of degree n is anxn + an-1xn-1 + ... + a1x + a0 where the ai are constants.
Is 0 a polynomial?
A polynomial is a function which can take the form: f(x) = sum(a_n * x^n) where n is a nonnegative integer. 0 is the constant function which can be represented in the form above by taking a_n = 0 for all n.
What is m x n?
m *n (m multiplied by n) would be mn.
What is a polynomial with four terms?
First off, it is NOT A QUINTIC! Typically a polynomial of four or more terms is called "a polynomial of n terms", where n is the number of terms. Only the one, two, and three term polynomials are referred to by a particular naming convention.
