English term or phrase: polynomial
We will go more into this when we look at how we take polynomials to powers.

La dernière partie de la phrase pose problème. Déjà dit-on des polynomiAUX ? Et quelle est la traduction de "to powers" ici ?
Merci.

polynomial (polynomiaux)
Explanation:
Yes, it's "polynomiaux" and "to powers" would most likely be "puissance", as in 2 to the power of 10 = 2 puissance 10

Ah, sorry, I was a bit innatentive there.
Polynamial (aux) is an adjective.
In this case we're talking about polynôme(s)

polynomial
Pôlynomes / Calculer les puissances de pôlynomes


Explanation:
On fait ici référene au polynômes (objets mathématiques, suite d'entier convergeant vers 0), et non à l'adjectif polynomial (par exemple : fonction polynomiale).

La traduction de "how we take polynomials to powers" serait donc "comment calculer/déterminer les puissances des polynômes" / "comment élever les polynômes à la puissance ... ".
