POLYNOMIAL

The POLYNOMIAL function evaluates a polynomial at a given point.

POLYNOMIAL(x-value, coefficients)

x-value: The input value to the power series. x-value is a number value.

coefficients: The coefficients by which each successive power of x-value is multiplied. The number of coefficients determines the number of terms in the power series. coefficients is a collection containing number values.

Notes

Higher order terms are expressed first. The coefficients (a_i) are for successive powers of x-value. In the following formula, “x” represents x-value. The formula used by the POLYNOMIAL function is: a₀ xⁿ + a₁ x^(n-1) + a₂ x^(n-2) + ... + a_n

The POLYNOMIAL function does not support an arbitrary starting point or arbitrary spacing of exponents. If either of these is required, use the SERIESSUM function.

The exponents are non-negative integers.
This function isn’t available in iBooks Author.

Examples

=POLYNOMIAL(2, 9) returns 9.

=POLYNOMIAL(2, 1) returns 1.
