In Chapter 1 we noted that a polynomial function is the sum of multiples of positive integer power functions. This also holds for functions of two variables. In general the separate terms of a polynomial function look as follows:
$$ cx^ay^b.$$
where $a$ and $b$ are non-negative and integer.
In this section we discuss three specific polynomial functions: the constant, the linear and the quadratic function.
$$ cx^ay^b.$$
where $a$ and $b$ are non-negative and integer.
