Defining a Real Polynomial

What is a polynomial?

In this post, we define a real polynomial P(x) as the expression a_{n}x^{n} + a_{n-1}x^{n-1} + ... + a_{2}x^{2} + a_{1}x + a_{0} where n = 0, 1, 2, … and a_{0}, a_{1}, a_{2}, ... , a_{n} are real numbers, as a part of the Prelim Maths Advanced course under the topic Working with Functions and sub-part Further Functions and Relations, specifically focusing on defining real polynomials.

 

What is the mathematical definition of a polynomial?
