Polynomial notation and function manipulations

P(x)=2x- 7x+5 is a polynomial expression of degree 3.

A _polynomial,_ P(x), of degree_ n,_ is an algebraic expression of the
form

where an, an-1,...., a1, a0 are real numbers and all of the powers of_ x:
n,n_ - 1,...., are positive integers.

are positive integers.

In order to work with polynomials we need to be able to manipulate
expressions like these.
