Brief definition
A polynomial is defined as an algebraic expression composed of variables, exponents, and constants, which can be combined using the four fundamental operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It can be one term, two terms or more. The number of terms in a polynomial can be any but is not infinite. In another definition, a polynomial is a monomial or the sum or difference of monomials. Monomial, binomial, and trinomial are considered polynomials.
Importance of the Topic
Polynomials are a crucial chapter in the study of Mathematics. It is one of the introductory lessons in algebra that connects to various related topics because it is a language of mathematics and algebra. Learning polynomials can be helpful to express things more shortly by representing them using variables, exponents and constants. This is also helpful in solving complex problems that cannot be solved in a simple arithmetic way, but these can be solved easily with the use of polynomials.
Application of the Learned Topic in Life
Polynomials and theorems related to it can represent and solve a variety of everyday mathematical activities and situations in life. Polynomials are very useful in the industry to model future situations, in financial planning to figure the amount of interest, predict expenses, and know the rate of income. Polynomials are also used in branches of Science such as biology, chemistry and physics. It is also applied in electronics, meteorology, and construction, specifically constructing roller coaster designs and curves.
