premise: A polynomial features coefficients.
hypothesis: In mathematics , a polynomial is an expression consisting of variables ( or indeterminates ) and coefficients , that involves only the operations of addition , subtraction , multiplication , and non-negative integer exponents . For example , they are used to form polynomial equations , which encode a wide range of problems , from elementary word problems to complicated problems in the sciences ; they are used to define polynomial functions , which appear in settings ranging from basic chemistry and physics to economics and social science ; they are used in calculus and numerical analysis to approximate other functions . In algebra , the content of a polynomial with integer coefficients ( or , more generally , with coefficients in a unique factorization domain ) is the greatest common divisor of its coefficients .
