polynomial equation
Multi-term mathematical statement
A polynomial equation sets a polynomial expression equal to zero or another value: x² + 3x - 10 = 0.
The polynomial consists of variables raised to whole-number powers, multiplied by coefficients, and combined by addition or subtraction.
The degree of the equation—the highest power of the variable—determines its complexity and the number of possible solutions.
