Agreed polynomials are pretty simple. They're purposely scope limited to be the format of (number)(variable)^(integer exponent) + (number)(variable)^(integer exponent) + (repeat this pattern a finite number of times)
2x + 4x² + 5x³ + 2x⁴ + 9x⁵ + 5x⁶ - 3x⁷ - x⁸ is an example.

I have another math question, and it's if this introduction to polynomials I wrote for myself is any good. The things in parentheses like (positive whole numbers) are for later if I come back to do a quick read-through given my less than stellar memory. A polynomial (from the Greek word poly, meaning many, and the Latin nomial, meaning names or terms) is an algebraic expression which consists of variables (also referred to as indeterminates) and coefficients that only involves the operations...
