Study the following expressions and answer the questions that follow: 55, 00, and p(x)=7−0x2+5x4p(x)=7-0x^{2}+5x^{4}. (i) Distinguish between a constant polynomial and the zero polynomial. (ii) Explain why the degree of p(x)=7−0x2+5x4p(x)=7-0x^{2}+5x^{4} is 44 even though the coefficient of x2x^{2} is zero. (iii) Give two reasons to justify why the degree of the zero polynomial is considered undefined.
