Can a number be called a polynomial?

Question

Is a number a polynomial?

Answer 1

technically yes

The polynomial has each coefficient, except for the final constant term, equal to zero

Specifically 0*x^n + 0*x^(n-1) + 0*x^(n-2) + .... + 0*x^3 + 0*x^2 + 0*x + k = k for some fixed number k

and positive integer n
