2. Linear polynomials, linear equations, and input-output form

  • Polynomials of degree 1 are called linear polynomials.
  • When a linear polynomial in one variable is equated to a constant, a linear equation is formed.
  • A polynomial can be thought of as an input-output process, that is, a function.
