POLYNOMIALS REVIEW Classifying Polynomials Adding & Subtracting Polynomials Multiplying Polynomials
Remember: Monomials are separated by _____ or _____ signs.
But, what is a monomial? A number or variable or product of numbers and variables. 6 5x2 x ½xy - y2z3
many Monomial Binomial Trinomial “Poly” means _________________? Polynomials can be classified according to the number of terms they have. ONE TERM – TWO TERMS – THREE TERMS - Monomial Binomial Trinomial
Classify the following: Trinomial 4abc 3x2 – 8xy Monomial 5x2 Binomial Monomial 3x2 – 8xy a2 + 2ab + b2 Binomial Trinomial
DEGREE……………… The degree of a monomial is determined by adding the exponents of its variables. So, to find the degree of a POLYnomial, find the degree of each separate MONOmial. The Monomial with the HIGHEST sum determines the degree of the problem.
Determine the degree of each polynomial.
Ascending & Descending Order Ascending – means to count up! So, order the VARIABLES exponents from least to greatest. Descending – means to count down! So, order the VARIABLES exponents from greatest to least.
