    The document discusses basic algebra concepts like variables, terms, expressions, and polynomials. It explains that variables represent unknown numbers, terms are constants or variables multiplied together, and expressions group terms with plus and minus signs. The document also defines polynomials as algebraic expressions where each term has variables with whole number exponents, and it categorizes polynomials based on their degree and number of terms.

    THE LANGUAGE OF ALGEBRA
    The following are important terms to remember.

    a. constant – a constant is a number on its own. For example, 1 or 127;


    b. variable – a variable is a symbol, usually letters, which represent a value or a number.
    For example, a or x. In truth, you have been dealing with variables since pre-school in
    the form of squares, blank lines (___) or other symbols used to represent the
    unknowns in some mathematical sentences or phrases;
    c. term – a term is a constant or a variable or constants and variables multiplied
    together.
    For example: 4, xy or 8yz.
    - The term’s number part is called the numerical coefficient. For the term 8yz, the
    numerical coefficient is 8 and the variables are yz;
    d. expression – an Algebraic expression is a group of terms separated by the plus or
    minus sign. For example, x – 2 or 4x + ½y – 45
    On Letters and Variables Problem:
     

    Let x be any real number. Find the value of the expression 3x (the product of 3 and x,
    remember?) if:

    a. x = 5
    b. x =
    c. x = -0.25

    • kind of algebraic expression where each term is a constant, a variable
    or a product of a constant and variable in which the variable has a
    whole number (non-negative number) exponent.
    An algebraic expression is NOT a polynomial if

    1)the exponent of the variable


    is NOT a whole number.
    2)the variable is inside the
    radical sign.
    3)the variable is in the
    denominator.
    Kinds of Polynomial according to the number
    of terms
    ACTIVITY: Tell whether the given expression is a polynomial or not. If it is a
    polynomial, determine its degree and tell its kind according to the number of terms.
    If it is NOT, explain why.
    Kinds of Polynomial according to its
    DEGREE

    The next degrees have no


    universal name yet so they
    are just called “polynomial
    of degree ____.”
    STANDARD FORM
    • terms are arranged from the term with the highest degree, up to the
    term with the lowest degree.
