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.
