Classification of polynomials  1. Zero degree polynomials are used to describe quantities that don’t change. 2. 1st degree polynomials are used to describe quantities that change at a steady rate. They are also used in many one-dimensional geometry problems involving length. 3. 2nd degree polynomials are used to describe quantities that change with some amount […]
