Polynomials

Polynomials are mathematical expressions made up of variables and constants combined using addition, subtraction, and multiplication, often involving exponentiation of variables with whole number powers. Think of them as algebraic formulas like \(2x^3 - 4x + 5\), where \(x\) is a variable that can change, and the numbers are coefficients and constants. Polynomials are used to model and analyze a wide range of real-world phenomena, from physics to economics. They have a well-defined structure that makes them predictable and manageable mathematically, especially for understanding how they behave and solving related equations.
