1 Polynomials: notation. 1 Point Grading comment: Recall that a polynomial is an expression, ( ) = 1 1 0 p(x)=a d x d a 1 x 1 a 0 , associated with a function. In this course, we will have the variable x and coefficients a i be from a field like the real numbers or arithmetic modulo a prime. (A field is a set with addition, multiplication, and multiplicative inverses.) The value of the ( 2 ) p(2) is the value of the polynomial expression evaluated at = 2 x=2. What is 0 x 0 for all xR
