a.

Polynomial:

  • Polynomial is actually an algebraic expression with one or more variables and is increased by a co-efficient value.
  • Poly means many and nominal means terms. Hence polynomial means many terms.
  • To find out the corresponding decimal values, the positional notation of a polynomial expression can be used.
  • The polynomial formula or the positional notation of a polynomial expression is as given below:

d n * R n-1 + d n-1 * R n-2+ . . . + d2 * R + d1

  • From the above equation,
    • “d” represents digit in the ith position of a number.
    • “R” represents base of a number.
    • “n” represents number of digits.
