## Polynomials I **What is a Polynomial?** A polynomial is an algebraic expression that consists of variables and coefficients, involving only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponents of variables. **Key Points** 1. A polynomial does not have variables in the denominator (e.g., $\frac{1}{x}$) or under a radical sign (e.g., $\sqrt{x}$). The powers [Preview only]
