Key Concepts

Constant Polynomial

A constant polynomial consists of a single nonzero constant value and does not include any variable terms. It is a specific type of polynomial where the value remains unchanged regardless of the value of the variable.

Degree of a Polynomial

The degree of a polynomial is defined as the highest power of the variable in the polynomial that has a nonzero coefficient. For a constant polynomial (other than zero), since there are no variable terms, the highest power is considered to be 0, making its degree 0.
