If all of its terms are of the form ax^b where a is any constant and b is a non-negative integer then it is a polynomial. If not, it is not.

How do you determine the degrees of a given 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.

How do you determine if a polynomial is the difference of two squares?

"Difference" implies subtraction. Example: The difference of 8 and 5 is 3 because 8 - 5 = 3. To determine if a polynomial is the difference you probably have to subtract one polynomial from another and check if your answer matches a given polynomial. To clarify the above, the polynomial should be able to be factorised into two distinct factors. For example x^2 - y^2 = (x + y)(x - y). This is the difference of two squares.


How do the zeros of a polynomial function help you determine the answer?

They tell you where the graph of the polynomial crosses the x-axis.Now, taking the derivative of the polynomial and setting that answer to zero tells you where the localized maximum and minimum values occur. Two values that have vast applications in almost any profession that uses statistics.
