Polynomials

Polynomials - what a strange word! These sections are more about understanding terminology than actual calculations. Your task is to try and explain each term in your own words so that your classmates (or your parents!) understand what each term means. You MUST choose 1, or you can do more if you like. DUE NO LATER THAN MONDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2008
