Terminology
- Degree: The maximum exponents among the monomials.
- Factor: An expression being multiplied.
- Linear factor: A factor of degree one.
- Coefficient: An expression multiplying one of the monomials of the polynomial.
- Root (or zero) of a polynomial: Given a polynomial p(x), the x values that satisfy p(x) = 0 are called roots (or zeroes) of the polynomial p.
