What is another name for a polynomial?
There is no other name for a polynomial.
When dividing a polynomial F x by the binomial x - a a remainder not equal to zero tells you that x - a is not a of the polynomial?

Why the graph of a polynomial function with real coefficients must have a y-intercept but may have no x-intercept?
For a polynomial of the form y = p(x) (i.e., some polynomial function of x), having a y-intercept simply means that the polynomial is defined for x = 0 - and a polynomial is defined for any value of "x". As for the x-intercept: from left to right, a polynomial of even degree may come down, not quite reach zero, and then go back up again. A simple example is y = x2 + 1. Why is the situation for "x" and for "y" different? Well, the original equation is a polynomial in "x"; but if you solve for "x", you don't get a polynomial in "y".
Is Polynomial function is a field?
No, it is not. f(x) = 2x + 3 and g(x) = 3x2 are polynomials but f(x)/g(x) is not a polynomial.
What is the root of a problem?
If you mean a math problem, "root" is another word for "solution".The "root" of a polynomial in "x" is any value for "x" which will set the polynomial equal to zero, when evaluated.If you mean a math problem, "root" is another word for "solution".The "root" of a polynomial in "x" is any value for "x" which will set the polynomial equal to zero, when evaluated.If you mean a math problem, "root" is another word for "solution".The "root" of a polynomial in "x" is any value for "x" which will set the polynomial equal to zero, when evaluated.If you mean a math problem, "root" is another word for "solution".The "root" of a polynomial in "x" is any value for "x" which will set the polynomial equal to zero, when evaluated.
