An expression like \u201cx + 4\u201d is a polynomial. They can have one or many variables in any combination, and the magnitude of them is decided by what power the variables are taken to. So x + 4 is an expression describing a straight line, but (x + 4)\u00b2 is a curve. Since a line crosses just once through any particular latitude or longitude, its solution is just one value. If you have x\u00b2, that means two root values, in a shape like a circle or arc that makes two crossings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quadratic equations are polynomials, meaning strings of math terms.
