What is the difference between a polynomial function and a linear function?

Back

A polynomial function can have multiple terms with varying degrees, while a linear function is a polynomial of degree one, represented as f(x) = mx + b.

What is the degree of a polynomial?

Back

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