BasicsPolynomial

Monic Polynomial

  • A non-zero univariate polynomial where the leading coefficient is 1.
  • Example
\[x^4 - 2x^3 + 5x - 7 \] \[x-2 \]
  • \(3x^2 - 4\) is not a monic polynomial.

Quadratic Polynomial

  • A polynomial equation of the degree 2, which means it has at least one squared term.
  • The general form of a quadratic equation is \(ax^{2}+bx+c=0\).
