What is function composition?

Back

Function composition is applying one function to the result of another function, denoted as (f ∘ g)(x) = f(g(x)).

What is the definition of a polynomial function?

Back

A polynomial function is a function that can be expressed in the form f(x) = a_nx^n + a_{n-1}x^{n-1} + ... + a_1x + a_0, where a_n, a_{n-1}, ..., a_0 are constants.

What is the degree of a polynomial?

Back

The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the variable x in the polynomial.
