    May 9, 2022 · A polynomial function is the sum of terms, each of which consists of a transformed power function with positive whole number power. The degree of a polynomial function is the …

  2. 5.2 Power Functions and Polynomial Functions - OpenStax

    A polynomial function consists of either zero or the sum of a finite number of non-zero terms, each of which is a product of a number, called the coefficient of the term, and a variable raised to a …

  3. Powers, Polynomials, and Rational Functions - Carroll College

    A polynomial function is a function of the form \begin{equation*} p(x)=a_{n}x^{n} + a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+\cdots + a_{1}x + a_{0} \end{equation*} where \(n\) is a nonnegative integer and \(a_{n}\ne …

  4. Power or polynomial function? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Jun 17, 2022 · Power functions must have a single term, but are allowed to have fractional or negative exponent. Polynomials can have more than one term ("poly", meaning "many", refers …

  5. Notice that we could also define a polynomial as a sum of power functions. The number n is called the degree of the polynomial. It represents the largest power that appears in the rule for the …

  6. How is a power function different from a polynomial function?

    Feb 13, 2025 · Power Function: A power function consists of a single term. The exponent can be any real number. For example: f(x) = 3x 2; f(x) = 5x-1; f(x) = 2x 1/2; f(x) = x π; Polynomial …
