To put this another way, every function in a family is a transformation of a parent function. For example, the function f(x) = 2x is the linear parent function vertically stretched by a factor of 2; Instead of the function passing through (1, 1) the graph passes through (2, 1): Co...
Ahomogeneous polynomialis a multivariate polynomial (i.e. a polynomial of more than one variable), with all terms of the same degree. Another way to put this: a polynomial is homogeneous of degreedif it is alinear combinationof monomials of degreed[1]. General homogeneous polynomials are somet...
