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.
this term 2x is not a polynomial. this term is a monomial. since only one term was listed it can not be a polynomial. A polynomial is like four or more terms. a trinomial is three terms and a binomial is two terms.
Yes, it can be considered a polynomial with one term.
