The Program has been started but I am having issues finishing the public class in the header and finishing the functions inside the main file.
Header File:

/**
This class implements a polynomial of the form
c0 + c1 x + c2 x^2 + c3 x^3 + ...
As a simplification, this class will be limited to polynomials
of order 99 or less. (The order of a polynomial is the largest
power of x having a non-zero coefficient, or zero if the polynomial
has all zero coefficients.) Note that adding polynomials
together or scaling polynomials (multiplying by a constant) could
reduce the order of the result.
