• If f(x) = CnXn + Cn-1Xn-1 + … + C3X3 + C2X2 + C1 X + C0, where Cn, Cn-1,
,… C3, C2, C1, C0 are constants and Cn ≠ 0 and n is a non-negative integer
then f(x) is called a polynomial function of degree n.
• A linear function is a polynomial function of degree 1.
• A quadratic function is a polynomial function of degree 2.
• A cubic function is a polynomial function of degree 3.
• The degree of a polynomial function is the degree of the term with the
highest degree.

1. F(x) = x + 2
2. F(x) = 3x – x + 5-3
3. F(x) = (x + 3)(x – 1)
= x2 + 2x - 3
4. F(x) = 4(x2 – 1)
5. F(x) =x(x5 – 6)
