Naming Polynomials
Degree	Terms
0--Constant	Monomial
1—Linear	Binomial
2—Quadratic	Trinomial
3—Cubic	Quadrinomial
4—Quartic	Polynomial
5—Quintic
6--nth

Examples:
5x - 2 = 0 is a linear binomial
with a degree of 1 and no turns. 
5x³ − 4x² + 7x − 8= 0 is a cubic quadrinomial 
with a degree of 3 and 2 turns.
x⁴ - x² + 4x - 24 = 0 is a quartic quadrinomial
with a degree of 4 and 3 turns.

Number of Turns is always 1 less than the degree
