title: How do I translate a polynomial with C programming without exponent operators?
body: <p>I was looking in my C textbook and inside there was a page where the prompt told me to translate a polynomial into C code. We have not discussed exponent operators yet and are specifically instructed not to use them at this point and find another way with basic operators. The polynomial goes as such: <code>5x^(2)+3x-2</code>. </p>
  
  <p>How do I do this?</p>
