DEFINE :
Differential calculus is the calculus of difference or change. Given a function, differential calculus
roughly lets you understand how fast the dependent variable changes as the/a independent variable
changes. An example would be finding the instantaneous velocity of a car given a graph of that cars
motion vs time.
Integral calculus is the calculus of accumulation. Given a function, integral calculus tells you the sum of
that functions various values. One example would be to find the total displacement from a velocity vs time
graph
The other answered was correct that they are roughly opposites of eachother.
In school, differential calculus usually refers to a semester course where you study
1. Limits
2. Derivatives (differential calculus in the purest sense)
And integral calculus would cover
1. Integration
2. Sequences and series ( Taylor and maclaurin, infinite series, etc)
3. Approximations (Reimann sums, newtons method, etc

A polynomial equation is an equation that can be written in the form

axn + bxn-1 + . . . + rx + s = 0,
where a, b, . . . , r and s are constants.
We call the largest exponent of x appearing in a non-zero term of a polynomial the
degree of that polynomial.
Examples
1. 3x + 1 = 0 has degree 1, since the largest power of x that occurs is x = x1.
Degree 1 equations are called linear equations.
2. x2 - x - 1 = 0 has degree 2, since the largest power of x that occurs is x2. Degree
2 equations are also called quadratic equations, or just quadratics.
3. x3 = 2x2 + 1 is a degree 3 polynomial (or cubic) in disguise. It can be rewritten
as x3 - 2x2 - 1 = 0, which is in the standard form for a degree 3 equation.
4. x4 - x = 0 has degree 4. It is called a quartic.
The quadratic polynomial
ax2+bx+c
has the two roots
