Introduction to
Polynomials
Polynomial Vocabulary
Linear
Quadratic
Cubic
Quartic
Quintic
Example
2x3 3x + 4 = 2( 2)3 3( 2) + 4
= 2( 8) + 6 + 4
=6
Example
Combine like terms to simplify.
x2y + xy y + 10x2y 2y + xy
= x2y + 10x2y + xy + xy y 2y (Like terms are grouped together)
Adding Polynomials
Combine all the like terms.
Subtracting Polynomials
Change the signs of the terms of the polynomial
being subtracted, and then combine all the like
terms.
2) 4 ( y 4) = 4 + y + 4 = y + 4 + 4 = y + 8
3) ( a2 + 1) (a2 3) + (5a2 6a + 7)
= a2 + 1 a2 + 3 + 5a2 6a + 7
= a2 a2 + 5a2 6a + 1 + 3 + 7 = 3a2 6a + 11

Adding and Subtracting Polynomials
In the previous examples, after discarding the
parentheses, we would rearrange the terms so
that like terms were next to each other in the
expression.
1.
Multiplying polynomials
If all of the polynomials are monomials, use the
associative and commutative properties.
If any of the polynomials are not monomials,
use the distributive property before the
associative and commutative properties. Then
combine like terms.
2) (4x2)(3x2 2x + 5)
= (4x2)(3x2) (4x2)(2x) + (4x2)(5) (Distributive property)
(2x2 + x 1)(x2 + 3x + 4)

Dividing Polynomials
Dividing Polynomials
Dividing a polynomial by a monomial
Divide each term of the polynomial separately by
the monomial.
Example
12a 3 36a 15 12a 3 36a 15
3a 3a 3a 3a
5
4a 12

So our answer is 4x 5.
2 x 7 4x 6 x 8
2 Multiply 2x times 2x+7.
Subtract 4x2 + 14x from 4x2 6x.
4 x 14 x
2
Bring down 8.
