Dear sir,

            Kindly refer to page no. 31 of NCERT book on which it is said that 

       anxn + an-1 xn-1 + … + a1x + a0

I understand the degree on x but I don't understand what it means by an , an-1 

,a1 , a0   . 

Kindly explain this by giving a numerical value to 'n'.

Expert Answer:

these values of 'a' are real constant which are assocaited with powers of x.
 
for example:
