Algebra

The mathematical term "Algebra" was derived from the Arabic word 'al-jabr'
 Indian mathematicians like  Aryabhatta , Bhrahmagupta, Mahavir, Bhaskara Ⅱ, Sridhara have contribute a lot to this branch of mathematics.
       
The Greek mathematician, Diophantus of Alexandria 
had developed this branch to a greater extent.
Hence he is called as "The father of Algebra"        

   Basic concepts of Polynomial:

• Monomial:

                   An Algebraic expression that contains only one term is called a monomial.

                       Examples:

                                   2x², 3ab,81xyz                 

                                       

• Binomial:

                   An Algebraic expression that contains only two terms is called a binomial.

                         Examples:

                                   x + y, 4a - 3b , l² -7m

• Trinomial:

                  An Algebraic expression that contains only three terms is called a Trinomial

                             Examples:

                                      x + y + z , 2a - 3b +4

• Polynomial:

                    An expression containing a finite number of terms with non zero coefficient is called a polynomial.  

                            Examples:

                                        a + b + c +d , 3x⁵ + 4x³ - 3x² + 72 x + 5

Degree of the polynomial:

                           The highest power of the terms is the degree of the polynomial.
                                

                                Examples:

                                          3x⁵ + 4x³ - 3x² + 72 x + 5 is the polynomial of degree 5.
