3 <p>A constant polynomial is an algebraic expression that is made up of only one fixed number and no variables. It is written in the form f(x) = k, where k is a real number.</p>

7 <p>A<a>constant</a><a>polynomial</a>is an<a>algebraic expression</a>that contains only a constant<a>term</a>. The degree<a>of</a>a constant polynomial is zero if the constant is non-zero. For the<a>zero polynomial</a>\((f(x) = 0)\), the degree is usually considered undefined, though some conventions assign it a degree of 0. A constant<a>polynomial</a>is written as \(f(x) = k\), where k is a<a></a><a>real number</a>. For example, the constant polynomial \(f(x) = 7\) is represented on a graph as a horizontal line at y = 7. </p>

8 <h2>What is the Degree of a Constant Polynomial?</h2>

9 <p>The constant polynomial is one where the highest<a>power</a>of the<a>variable</a>is zero. A constant polynomial has no variable term, which means the highest power of the variable is 0. The degree is the highest<a>exponent</a>of x with a non-zero<a>coefficient</a>; the degree of a constant polynomial is 0. The degree of a constant polynomial is zero if the constant is non-zero. If the constant is zero, its degree is undefined and it is called a<a>zero polynomial</a>.</p>

10 <h2>How to Represent Constant Polynomial in Graph?</h2>

11 <p>As seen in the previous section a constant polynomial has the form \(f(x) = k\), where k is a real<a>number</a>(e.g., 2, 4, -6, 0.8) and no variable terms are present. In a constant polynomial, the graph appears as a horizontal line parallel to the x-axis, intersecting the y-axis at \(y = k\). </p>

12 <p>The graph above shows the constant polynomial \(f(x) = 6\). No matter what the value of x is, the corresponding output is always 6. </p>
