Algebraic Operations
Goals Add and subtract algebraic expressions and simplify like terms by applying commutative, associative, and distributive properties. Identify monomial, binomial, and polynomial terms in an algebraic expression. Big Idea Algebraic expressions are often a sum of terms. An expression can be simplified by combining like terms.
Algebraic Operations Goal Identify monomial, binomial, and polynomial terms in an algebraic expression. Describe the order of the terms in a polynomial as ascending or descending. Big Idea A polynomial is an algebraic expression involving a sum of terms. Polynomial with 1, 2 or 3 terms are given special names: monomial - 1 term e.g. 5x or 5 or 3abc binomial - 2 terms e.g. 1 + x or 3x trinomial - 3 terms e.g. 1 + x + x2 or ab + bc + 3
Algebraic Operations Goal Add and subtract algebraic expressions and simplify like terms by applying commutative, associative, and distributive properties. Big Idea A polynomial can be simplified by combining like terms. Like terms have variables with the same power. Remember x 0 = 1
