  2. Polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial

    The zero polynomial is also unique in that it is the only polynomial in one indeterminate that has an infinite number of roots. The graph of the zero polynomial, f(x) = 0, is the x-axis. In the case of polynomials in more than one indeterminate, a polynomial is called homogeneous of degree n if all of its non-zero terms have degree n. The zero ...

  3. Monic polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monic_polynomial

    Let () be a polynomial equation, where P is a univariate polynomial of degree n. If one divides all coefficients of P by its leading coefficient, one obtains a new polynomial equation that has the same solutions and consists to equate to zero a monic polynomial. For example, the equation

  4. Monomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monomial

    In mathematics, a monomial is, roughly speaking, a polynomial which has only one term.Two definitions of a monomial may be encountered: A monomial, also called a power product or primitive monomial, [1] is a product of powers of variables with nonnegative integer exponents, or, in other words, a product of variables, possibly with repetitions. [2]

  5. Polynomial ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_ring

    The definition of a polynomial as a linear combination of monomials is a particular polynomial expression, which is often called the canonical form, normal form, or expanded form of the polynomial. Given a polynomial expression, one can compute the expanded form of the represented polynomial by expanding with the distributive law all the ...

  6. Algebraic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_equation

    A polynomial equation over the rationals can always be converted to an equivalent one in which the coefficients are integers. For example, multiplying through by 42 = 2·3·7 and grouping its terms in the first member, the previously mentioned polynomial equation y 4 + x y 2 = x 3 3 − x y 2 + y 2 − 1 7 {\displaystyle y^{4}+{\frac {xy}{2 ...

  7. Expression (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expression_(mathematics)

    For example the above polynomial expression is equivalent (denote the same polynomial as + + Many author do not distinguish polynomials and polynomial expressions. In this case the expression of a polynomial expression as a linear combination is called the canonical form , normal form , or expanded form of the polynomial.

  8. Completing the square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completing_the_square

    Given a quadratic polynomial of the form + + it is possible to factor out the coefficient a, and then complete the square for the resulting monic polynomial. Example: + + = [+ +] = [(+) +] = (+) + = (+) + This process of factoring out the coefficient a can further be simplified by only factorising it out of the first 2 terms. The integer at the ...

  9. Chebyshev polynomials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebyshev_polynomials

    For example, the 4th order Chebyshev polynomial from the example above is +, which by inspection contains no roots of zero. Creating the polynomial from the even order modified Chebyshev nodes creates a 4th order even order modified Chebyshev polynomial of X 4 − .828427 X 2 {\displaystyle X^{4}-.828427X^{2}} , which by inspection contains two ...
