A polynomial in. x is defined as a finite sum of terms of the form axn, where a is a real number and. the exponent nis a whole number. For each term,a is called the coefficient, and n. is called the degree of the term. For example: If a polynomial has exactly one term, it is categorized as a monomial. A two-. term polynomial is called a binomial, and a three-term polynomial is called a. trinomial. Usually the terms of a polynomial are written in descending order. according to degree. In descending order, the highest-degree term is written first.
Therefore, the first derivative of a function is equal to zero at extrema. If the graph has one or more of these stationary points, these may be found by setting the first derivative equal to zero and finding the roots of the resulting equation. The function f(x) = x3, which contains a saddle point at the point (0,0).
