Let’s Begin!!! 

Let’s Review Functions Daily Questions……. How do I name polynomials? How do I add and subtract polynomials?

POLYNOMIAL Function: A polynomial is the monomial or the sum of monomials with all exponents as whole numbers and coefficients are all real numbers. Ex- x3+6x2+12x+8

Is it a polynomial? YES a) NO b) NO c) YES d)

The terms of a polynomial are in STANDARD FORM when: they are ordered from left to right in ______________ order; which means from the ____________ exponent to the ____________ decreasing largest smallest

DEGREE: The _________exponent in the polynomial. It determines the _____________________. largest Number of Zeros Ex: The degree of –7x + 9 – 4x2 is ____. 2 Classifying: 0 – Constant 2 – Quadratic 4 - Quartic 1 – Linear 3 – Cubic

The ______________once in _________________. LEADING COEFFICIENT: The ______________once in _________________. first coefficient standard form CONSTANT: The term _________________ a variable. without

STANDARD FORM a. Standard Form: Leading Coefficient: Degree: Constant: b. Leading Coefficient: Standard Form: Constant: Degree:

B. Their _________ of terms C. Look at the chart for an explanation. Some polynomials have SPECIAL NAMES that are determined by the following: A. Their _________ or B. Their _________ of terms C. Look at the chart for an explanation. degree number

Polynomial Name by # of Terms DEGREE Name by Degree 12 8x 4x2 + 3 5x3 + x2 3x2 – 4x + 6 7t4 – 7t + 3 1 Monomial Constant 1 Monomial 1 Linear Binomial Quadratic 2 2 2 Binomial 3 Cubic 3 Trinomial 2 Quadratic 3 Trinomial 4 Quartic

Adding and Subtracting Polynomials Combine like terms! SUBTRACTING: Distribute the negative
