circle the variable(s) in each expression:

3x2 – 2x + 5
7a
x2 + 3 + 2y
This unit will help you develop an
understanding of polynomials, a form of
mathematical expression.

We will learn how to work with:


- Parts of a Polynomial
- Polynomial Operations (+)(-)(x)(÷)
- Representing Polynomials
Polynomial

- “Poly”
- many

- “Nomial”
- terms
Polynomial
- A numerical
expression written
with:
- one term OR
- sum/difference of
terms
- variables that
have whole-
number
exponents
- Polynomial Vocabulary -

- Variable
- Any letter that is used to represent a
changing value

(ex) 3x2 - 2x +5
- Polynomial Vocabulary -

- Coefficient
- Any number found at the beginning of a
term containing a variable

(ex) 3x2 - 2x +5
- Polynomial Vocabulary -

- Terms
- Each individual portion of the expression
- Can be a number, variable, or the
product of a number & a variable

(ex) 3x2 - 2x +5
- Polynomial Vocabulary -

- Constant
- Any number by itself, the number does
not change

(ex) 3x2 - 2x +5
- Polynomial Vocabulary -

- Degree
- Refers to how big the exponent is

(ex) 3x2 - 2x +5
- 3x2 = Degree of 2
- 2x = Degree of 1
- 5 = Degree of 0
Polynomial Example
- Variables
x3, x2, -x -6x3 + 4x2 – x + 7
- Coefficients
-6, 4
- Constants - Degree (H-L)
7
- # of Terms
4
Polynomial Example
- Variables
a3, b2, c, -x 3a3 - 5b2 + c - x
- Coefficients
3, -5
- Constants - Degree (H-L)
-
- # of Terms
4
- Special Case Polynomial Vocabulary -

- Monomial
- Polynomial with one term

(ex) 2m
(ex) 8
(ex) n2
- Special Case Polynomial Vocabulary -

- Binomial
- Polynomial with two terms

(ex) 3x + 6
(ex) 5m2 – 2m
- Special Case Polynomial Vocabulary -

- Trinomial
- Polynomial with three terms

(ex) 2x2 + 4x + 7
Polynomial Example
Identify each as a monomial, binomial, or
trinomial:

-5x2
4m2 + m + 6

5x-3
Re-write, then label the following for each
polynomial:
(variable, constant, coefficient)
3x2 – 2x + 5
7a
x2 + 3 + 2y
A) -16 Monomial
B) x – 8 Binomial
C) 4x Monomial
D) 2x2 – 8x + 3 Trinomial
E) -5x + 5 Binomial
F) 5x2 Monomial
G) -2x2 + 2x – 3 Trinomial
H) -3x2 + 8 Binomial
Simplifying
- Like terms can be simplified in a
polynomial
- Likes Terms have:
- The same variable
- The same degree
(ex) x2 and 2x2 are like terms

x2 -3 - x2 - 2x + 2 + x2 - x + x
Polynomial Operations
- Addition & Subtraction -
- When subtracting, it is important to
remember your integer rules
Polynomial Operations
- Multiplication & Division by a Monomial -

- It is important to remember your Power


Laws!
- Multiplying
- If the variables are the same, add the
exponents
(ex) (x3 )(x4) = x(5+4)
Polynomial Operations
- Multiplication & Division by a Monomial -

- Multiplying
- If the variables are different, we write them
side-by-side meaning that we are
multiplying them
- Any coefficients get multiplied as
normal
(ex) (3x)(2y) = 6xy
Polynomial Operations
- Multiplication & Division by a Monomial -

2z(3z + 4)

**Remember your distributive property


Polynomial Operations
- Multiplication & Division by a Monomial -

-2x(-5x + 3)

**Remember your distributive property


Polynomial Operations
- Multiplication & Division by a Monomial -

- It is important to remember your Power


Laws!
- Dividing
- If the variables are the same, subtract the
exponents
(ex) (x7)÷(x3) = x(7-3)
