Infinite number of terms not a polynomial? That’s just dumb, even by normal calculus-class methods. Calculus teachers always emphasize that you can’t reach infinity, so limits are “approaching a really large number.” A polynomial with a really large number of terms is still a polynomial. Poly means many, for heavens sake.


if it has an infinite number of terms it's not a polynomial it's a power series you numbnut.

where do they find these idiots?
