Polynomial Evaluator

Evaluate polynomial expressions for any x value with coefficient lists and step-by-step substitution.

O M T

Evaluate polynomials for any x

Enter coefficients from lowest degree to highest (constant term first). For example, 1, -2, 3 defines P(x) = 1 − 2x + 3x². The tool substitutes your x value, shows each non-zero term, and prints the numeric result instantly.

How to use it

  1. List coefficients separated by commas or spaces.
  2. Enter the x value (decimals allowed).
  3. Read P(x) and the per-term breakdown.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which coefficient order is used?

Index 0 is the constant term, index 1 is x, index 2 is x², and so on.

Can I use negative coefficients?

Yes. Use minus signs in the list, for example 0, -1, 2.

Where does computation run?

All evaluation happens locally in JavaScript; nothing is uploaded.
