How does the Polynomial Calculator work?
Free Polynomial Calculator - This calculator will take an expression without division signs and combine like terms.
It will also analyze an polynomial that you enter to identify constant, variables, and exponents. It determines the degree as well.
This calculator has 1 input.
What 2 formulas are used for the Polynomial Calculator?
For cxn, we have c as our constant, x as our variable, n as our exponent.
Variables can be any letter but e or i.
What 6 concepts are covered in the Polynomial Calculator?
- constant
- a value that always assumes the same value independent of how its parameters are varied
- exponent
- The power to raise a number
- expression
- finite combination of symbols
- polynomial
- an expression of more than two algebraic terms, especially the sum of several terms that contain different powers of the same variable(s).
- term
- a single number or variable, or numbers and variables multiplied together
- variable
- Alphabetic character representing a number
