Degree of Polynomial: Algebraic Expressions

Algebraic expressions contain variables, numbers, and operators. Terms are constants, variables, or variables multiplied by constants. The coefficient is a constant multiplied by a variable. The degree is the sum of a term's exponents. Like terms have the same variable raised to the same exponent, while unlike terms do not. Polynomials involve addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponents and have a highest exponent degree. Important algebraic identities include formulas for expanding and factoring expressions like (a + b)2 and (a - b)2.

Algebraic Expressions and Identities

Algebraic Expressions
It is an expression containing variables, numbers and operators.

Terms
It is a constant, a variable or variables multiplied by a constant.

Coefficient
When a constant is multiplied by a variable, the constant is called its coefficient.

Degree
The sum of a term’s exponent. Exponent of a constant is considered to be zero.

Like Terms
Terms in which same variable is raised to same exponent.

Unlike Terms
Terms which do not have same variable or exponent or both.

Polynomials
An algebraic expression that involves operations of addition, subtraction,
multiplication and non-negative integer exponents of variable. A single
variable polynomial of degree n is,
anxn+ an-1xn-1+ ... + a0x0

Degree Of Polynomial
It is the greatest exponent in various terms of polynomial.

Types Of Polynomials
1 Monomial An expression with one term. For e.g., 21x2y, 17x, 9p etc.

2 Binomial An expression with two unlike terms. For e.g., 3x2 + 4x, 5x + 9y etc.

3 Trinomial An expression with three unlike terms. For e.g., 3x2 + 5x - 9, a + b - c etc.

Addition and Subtraction Of Polynomials


1 Addition
Step 1 : Group all the like terms together in two polynomials.
Step 2 : Combine all the like terms to get balance polynomial.
2 Subtraction
Step 1 : Change the sign of all terms of polynomial to be subtracted.
Step 2 : Group all the like terms together.
Step 3 : Combine all the like terms to get balance polynomial.

Algebraic Identity
It is an equality that holds for any values of its variable.

Important Algebraic Identities


1 ( a + b )2 = a2 + 2ab + b2 4 a2 + b2 = ( a + b )2 - 2ab
= ( a - b )2 + 2ab
2 ( a - b )2 = a2 - 2ab + b2
5 ( a + b )3 = a3 + b3 + 3ab( a + b )
3 a2 - b2 = ( a + b )( a - b )
6 ( a - b )3 = a3 - b3 - 3ab( a - b )
7 a3+ b3 = ( a + b )( a2 - ab + b2 )

8 a3- b3 = ( a - b )( a2 + ab + b2 )

9 ( a + b + c )2 = a2+ b2+ c 2 + 2ab


+ 2bc + 2ac
10 a3+ b3+ c3 - 3abc = ( a + b + c ) x
( a2+ b2+ c 2- ab
- bc - ca )
11 a4+ a2+ 1 = ( a2+ a + 1 )( a2- a +
1)

12 a4 - b4 = ( a2 + b2 )( a + b )( a -
b)
13 a8 - b8 = ( a4 + b4 )( a2 + b2 )( a +
b )( a - b )
