Classifying Algebraic Expressions

The document defines terms related to classifying algebraic expressions such as monomial, binomial, and trinomial. It explains that a polynomial is an algebraic expression with one or more terms containing variables and whole number exponents, and lists characteristics that make an expression not a polynomial. The document also covers finding the degree of a polynomial and arranging polynomial terms in descending order.

REVIEW:

What is a polynomial?
How can we differentiate a polynomial
from not a polynomial?
What are the parts of a term?
What are the classifications of a
polynomial?
Differentiate each classification.
OBJECTIVES:

a) I can find the degree of a


polynomial
b) I can arrange the terms of a
polynomial in descending order
The degree of a monomial is the sum
of the exponents of the variables.
Find the degree of each monomial.
1) 5x2
• Degree: 2
2) 4a b c
4 3

• Degree: 8
3) -3
• Degree: 0
DEGREE of a polynomial:
• The
  DEGREE of a polynomial that has only one
variable is the HIGHEST EXPONENT
appearing in any of the terms.
Example: 4-3 ++x degree: 5
DEGREE of a polynomial:
• The
  DEGREE of a polynomial in more than
one variable is the highest sum of the
exponents
Examples: + - +
5 4 6 8
Degree: 8
DEGREE of a polynomial:
 

The DEGREE of a term that has more than one variable


is the sum of the exponents of the variables
Examples:

Degree: 7
To find the degree of a polynomial, find
the highest exponent of the terms.
1) 8x2 - 2x + 7
Exponents: 2 1 0
Degree: 2
2) y7 + 6y4 + 3x4m4
Exponents: 7 4 8
Degree: 8
Identify the DEGREE of a polynomial:
 
a.) x + y + Degree: 1
 
b.) - 3 y – 5x - 7 Degree: 7
 
c.) +3+x Degree: 3
 
d.) Degree: 10

 
Degree: 5
• Polynomial is written in
descending order, the
coefficient of the first term
is the leading coefficient.
