Section R3: Polynomials 223 Reference Chapter Section R3: Polynomials Polynomial: a finite sum of terms with only positive or zero integer coefficients permitted for the variables. The Degree of the polynomial is the highest coefficient. Monomial: 1 term Binomial: 2 terms Trinomial: 3 terms Example: Here is a polynomial The degree is 9, and it is a trinomial

Section R3: Polynomials 223 Reference Chapter Section R3: Polynomials Dividing Polynomials: the quotient can be found using an algorithm similar to the long division model used for whole numbers. Both polynomials must be written in descending order. Example: What is the quotient of 2730/65? Use the process of long division.
