- A polynomial (of one variable) is an expression where the variable has exponents that are whole numbers (0, 1, 2, 3, ...)
- A quadratic polynomial is a polynomial where the highest exponent on the variable is 2.
- A linear polynomial is a polynomial where the highest exponent on the variable is 1.
- A cubic polynomial is a polynomial where the highest exponent on the variable is 3.
- A constant polynomial is a polynomial where the highest exponent on the variable is 0 (i.e. there are no visible variables because ).
- A quartic polynomial is a polynomial where the highest exponent on the variable is 4.
Just find the highest exponent on x in g(x) and find your answer.
