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.

Who discovered polynomial?
In the 1880s, Poincaré created functions which give the solution to the order polynomial equation to the order of the polynomial equation
What is the difference in evaluating a polynomial and solving a polynomial?
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.
What is an equation that has several letters or variables?
An equation that has several letters or variables is a polynomial
What is an equation with two or more variables?
It is called a polynomial.
What is an equation involving two or more variables?

How do you answer polynomial?
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.
Is an algebraic equation the same as a polynomial equation?
yes
What is the degree of a polynomial equation is based on?
The highest power in the equation.
Are there only 3 degree's in a polynomial equation?
No. A polynomial can have as many degrees as you like.
What are the roots of polynomial?
The "roots" of a polynomial are the solutions of the equation polynomial = 0. That is, any value which you can replace for "x", to make the polynomial equal to zero.
A polynomial equation of degree two?
A Quadratic
Can a decimal be a coefficient in a polynomial equation?
