A primeira coisa que você deseja verificar é se o autor está falando sobre polinômios brutos vs. polinômios ortogonais .
Para polinômios ortogonais. o coeficiente não está ficando "maior".
Aqui estão dois exemplos de expansão polinomial de 2ª e 15ª ordem. Primeiro, mostramos o coeficiente para a expansão de 2ª ordem.
summary(lm(mpg~poly(wt,2),mtcars))
Call:
lm(formula = mpg ~ poly(wt, 2), data = mtcars)
Residuals:
Min 1Q Median 3Q Max
-3.483 -1.998 -0.773 1.462 6.238
Coefficients:
Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|)
(Intercept) 20.0906 0.4686 42.877 < 2e-16 ***
poly(wt, 2)1 -29.1157 2.6506 -10.985 7.52e-12 ***
poly(wt, 2)2 8.6358 2.6506 3.258 0.00286 **
---
Signif. codes: 0 ‘***’ 0.001 ‘**’ 0.01 ‘*’ 0.05 ‘.’ 0.1 ‘ ’ 1
Residual standard error: 2.651 on 29 degrees of freedom
Multiple R-squared: 0.8191, Adjusted R-squared: 0.8066
F-statistic: 65.64 on 2 and 29 DF, p-value: 1.715e-11
Então nós mostramos a 15ª ordem.

Signif. codes: 0 ‘***’ 0.001 ‘**’ 0.01 ‘*’ 0.05 ‘.’ 0.1 ‘ ’ 1
Residual standard error: 2.574 on 16 degrees of freedom
Multiple R-squared: 0.9058, Adjusted R-squared: 0.8176
F-statistic: 10.26 on 15 and 16 DF, p-value: 1.558e-05
Note que estamos usando polinômios ortogonais ; portanto, o coeficiente da ordem inferior é exatamente o mesmo que os termos correspondentes nos resultados da ordem superior. Por exemplo, a interceptação e o coeficiente para a primeira ordem são 20,09 e -29,11 para ambos os modelos.
