Understanding the Polynomial Function
A polynomial function is a function that can be written in the form p(y) = a_n y^n + a_(n-1) y^(n-1) + ... + a_1 y + a_0, where a_n, a_(n-1), ..., a_1, a_0 are constants and n is a non-negative integer. In this case, the polynomial function is p(y) = y^3 + y^2 +√2 𝑦 + √2.
