Does p(x) mean a polynomial p in the variable x or a polynomial p in x?
======================
It's a polynomial in the variable x, or a function in the variable x.
-----
A polynomial in x is the same thing, just a "shorthand" way of saying it.
===============
It's like saying "solve for x" vs. "solve for the variable x."
