I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I thought the general equation of a polynomial was something more like:
(a_n)(x^n)+...+(a_3)(x^3)+(a_2)(x^2)+(a_1)(x)+a_0
what gives?? and where'd the "k" come from? :confused:
hello everyone, this is my first post.. I've got myself a problem.
say I have a field F, and that f(x) is a polynomial with coefficients in F.
(all the normal differentiation rules apply like always.. product rule, quotient rule, etc.) Now, I know that a polynomial f(x) has a "multiple...
