👉 In mathematics and physics, an "explicated" function is a function that has been expanded or simplified to its simplest form. This can be done by performing polynomial division or other mathematical operations on the function's coefficients. For example, consider the function: ``` f(x) = x^3 - 2x^2 + 4 ``` If we expand this function using polynomial long division (which is a method that involves dividing the polynomial into its terms), we get: ```
