Biquadratic vs. Polynomial — What's the Difference?

Of or relating to the fourth degree.

In mathematics, a polynomial is an expression consisting of variables (also called indeterminates) and coefficients, that involves only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponentiation of variables. An example of a polynomial of a single indeterminate x is x2 − 4x + 7.

An algebraic equation of the fourth degree.

Of, relating to, or consisting of more than two names or terms.

(mathematics) Of a polynomial expression, involving only the zeroth, second, and fourth powers of a variable, as x⁴ + 3x² + 2. Sometimes extended to any expression involving the biquadrate or fourth power (but no higher powers), as x⁴ − 4x³ + 3x² − x + 1.

A taxonomic designation consisting of more than two terms.

(mathematics) A biquadratic equation.

An algebraic expression consisting of one or more summed terms, each term consisting of a constant multiplier and one or more variables raised to nonnegative integral powers. For example, x2 - 5x + 6 and 2p3q + y are polynomials. Also called multinomial.

Of or pertaining to the biquadrate, or fourth power.

An expression of two or more terms.

A biquadrate.

An expression consisting of a sum of a finite number of terms, each term being the product of a constant coefficient and one or more variables raised to a non-negative integer power, such as $a\_n\; x^n\; +\; a\_\{n-1\}x^\{n-1\}\; +\; ...\; +\; a\_0\; x^0$. Category:en:Polynomials

An algebraic equation of the fourth degree

(taxonomy) A taxonomic designation (such as of a subspecies) consisting of more than two terms.

(algebra) Able to be described or limited by a polynomial.

A polynomial of the fourth degree

(taxonomy) of a polynomial name or entity

Of or relating to the fourth power

An expression composed of two or more terms, connected by the signs plus or minus; as, a2 - 2ab + b2.

Containing many names or terms; multinominal; as, the polynomial theorem.

Consisting of two or more words; having names consisting of two or more words; as, a polynomial name; polynomial nomenclature.
