Substantiv
polynomial - An expression consisting of a sum of a finite number of terms, each term being the product of a constant coefficient and one or more variables raised to a non-negative integer power, such as a_n x^n + a_{n-1x^{n-1 + ... + a_0 x^0.
polynomial - A taxonomic designation such as of a subspecies consisting of more than two terms.
Adjektiv
polynomial - Able to be described or limited by a polynomial.
polynomial - Of a polynomial name or entity.

A polynomial is an expression of finite length constructed from variables (also known as indeterminates) and constants, using only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative, whole-number exponents. For example, x − 4x + 7 is a polynomial, but x − 4/x + 7x is not, because its second term involves division by the variable x (4/x) and because its third term contains an exponent that is not a whole number (3/2). The term 'polynomial' indicates a simplified algebraic form such that all polynomials are similarly simple in complexity.
