Polynomial vs non polynomial time complexity
fundamental difference between a polynomial function and an exponential function?
The only difference is that a binomial has two terms and a polynomial has three or more terms.
yes
The highest power in the equation.
A quadratic equation is of degree 2, that is, the highest power is 2. A polynomial is not an equation, however, you can convert it into an equation by setting the polynomial equal to zero for example. A polynomial EQUATION can be of any degree: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.
Evaluating a polynomial is finding the value of the polynomial for a given value of the variable, usually denoted by x. Solving a polynomial equation is finding the value of the variable, x, for which the polynomial equation is true.

In the 1880s, Poincaré created functions which give the solution to the order polynomial equation to the order of the polynomial equation
Yes
You can evaluate a polynomial, you can factorise a polynomial, you can solve a polynomial equation. But a polynomial is not a specific question so it cannot be answered.
A polynomial discriminant is defined in terms of the difference in the roots of the polynomial equation. Since a binomial has only one root, there is nothing to take its difference from and so in such a situation, the discriminant is a meaningless concept.
A trinomial is a polynomial with three terms.
yes
is -4 a polynomial? This depends on what you accept as a definition A polynomial is often defined as a set of things in order obeying certain rules. ( these things and rules can be very complicated) A polynomial EQUATION is an equation between two polynomials When using only real numbers and "regular" math rules -4 is a polymomial of degree 0 x = -4 is a polynomial equation is a polynomial of degree 1 it is the same as x +4 = 0 It can be represented by { 4, 0} Sometimes the terms are used interchangably
