2. Order of operations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

   The Order of Operations emerged progressively over centuries. The rule that multiplication has precedence over addition was incorporated into the development of algebraic notation in the 1600s, since the distributive property implies this as a natural hierarchy. As recently as the 1920s, the historian of mathematics, Florian Cajori, identifies ...

3. Polynomial - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial

   In mathematics, a polynomial is a mathematical expression consisting of indeterminates (also called variables) and coefficients, that involves only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and exponentiation to nonnegative integer powers, and has a finite number of terms.

4. Exponentiation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation

   Exponentiation with negative exponents is defined by the following identity, which holds for any integer n and nonzero b: =. [1] Raising 0 to a negative exponent is undefined but, in some circumstances, it may be interpreted as infinity (). [22]

5. Polynomial expansion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_expansion

   In mathematics, an expansion of a product of sums expresses it as a sum of products by using the fact that multiplication distributes over addition. Expansion of a polynomial expression can be obtained by repeatedly replacing subexpressions that multiply two other subexpressions, at least one of which is an addition, by the equivalent sum of products, continuing until the expression becomes a ...

6. Pascal's pyramid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal's_pyramid

   The exponents of A are 3 and 2 (the larger being in the left term). The exponents of C are 0 and 1 (the larger being in the right term). The coefficients and larger exponents are related: 4 × 3 = 12 × 1; 4 / 12 = 1 / 3; These equations yield the ratio: "1:3". The rules are the same for all horizontal and diagonal pairs. The variables A, B, C ...

7. Degree of a polynomial - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_of_a_polynomial

   For polynomials in two or more variables, the degree of a term is the sum of the exponents of the variables in the term; the degree (sometimes called the total degree) of the polynomial is again the maximum of the degrees of all terms in the polynomial. For example, the polynomial x 2 y 2 + 3x 3 + 4y has degree 4, the same degree as the term x ...
