APEX gets it wrong - again!
A quadratic polynomial has degree 2. Not greater than, nor less than but exactly equal to 2.
No. "Quadratic" means degree of 2.
That means that you divide one polynomial by another polynomial. Basically, if you have polynomials "A" and "B", you look for a polynomial "C" and a remainder "R", such that: B x C + R = A ... such that the remainder has a lower degree than polynomial "B", the polynomial by which you are dividing. For example, if you divide by a polynomial of degree 3, the remainder must be of degree 2 or less.
The quadratic formula can be used to find the solutions of a quadratic equation - not a linear or cubic, or non-polynomial equation. The quadratic formula will always provide the solutions to a quadratic equation - whether the solutions are rational, real or complex numbers.
There are infinitely many options. The equation could be a polynomial of degree greater than 1, or it could be a power function, a log function or any combination of these with trig functions. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that there is no clue in the question as to what a stands for.
A polynomial is an equation with more than 1 term. A term could be a constant, or a power of a variable (denoted by a letter, like x) times a constant. The order of the polynomial is determined by the highest power of the variable.A quadratic is a second order polynomial, because the highest power of x is x2.A first order polynomial has x1 (which is just x) as the highest power.
No. "Quadratic" means degree of 2.
No.
True. A polynomial of degree zero is defined as a polynomial where the highest degree term has a degree of zero. This means that the polynomial is a constant term, as it does not contain any variables raised to a power greater than zero. Therefore, a polynomial of degree zero is indeed a constant term.
more than one variable
The degree of a polynomial is the highest exponent in the polynomial.
Yes, when performing polynomial division, the remainder can be a polynomial of a lower degree than the divisor. If the divisor is a polynomial of degree 1, such as (x - a), the remainder could be any linear polynomial, including just (x). However, if the divisor has a degree higher than 1, the remainder must be of lower degree than that divisor.
Those words refer to the degree, or highest exponent that modifies a variable, or the polynomial.Constant=No variables in the polynomialLinear=Variable raised to the first powerQuadratic=Variable raised to the second power (or "squared")Cubic=Variable raised to the third power (or "cubed")Quartic=Variable raised to the fourth powerQuintic=Variable raised to the fifth powerAnything higher than that is known as a "6th-degree" polynomial, or "21st-degree" polynomial. It all depends on the highest exponent in the polynomial. Remember, exponents modifying a constant (normal number) do not count.
7x2 - 5x + 4 is not a monomial because it has more than one term. It is a quadratic polynomial.
That means that you divide one polynomial by another polynomial. Basically, if you have polynomials "A" and "B", you look for a polynomial "C" and a remainder "R", such that: B x C + R = A ... such that the remainder has a lower degree than polynomial "B", the polynomial by which you are dividing. For example, if you divide by a polynomial of degree 3, the remainder must be of degree 2 or less.
Only when the discriminant of the quadratic expression is equal to or greater than zero

Strictly we do not classify polynomials by the number of terms but by the highest power of the variable (its degree).For example, if x is the variable then a polynomial with highest power...... x0 (degree 0) is a constant e.g. 4x0 = 4... x1 (degree 1) is linear e.g. 2x1 + 5 = 2x + 5... x2 (degree 2) is a quadratic e.g. 3x2 - 2x + 1... x3 (degree 3) is a cubic e.g. 2x3 - 3x2 - 2x + 1... x4 (degree 4) is a quartic e.g. 7x4 + 2x3 - 3x2 - 2x + 1(degree 5) quintic, (degree 6) sextic, (degree 7) septic, (degree 8) octic,...Although it appears as if the degree of a polynomial is always one less than the number of terms, in general this not the case. For example, x3 - 9 is cubic with only 2 terms or 4x8 is an octic with only one term.
