1. Introduction to Polynomials

2. Polynomials and Polynomial Functions
Definitions
Term: a number or a product of a number and variables raised
to a power.
Coefficient: the numerical factor of each term.
Constant: the term without a variable.
Polynomial: a finite sum of terms of the form axn, where a is a
real number and n is a whole number.

3. Polynomials and Polynomial Functions
Definitions
Monomial: a polynomial with exactly one term.
Binomial: a polynomial with exactly two terms.
Trinomial: a polynomial with exactly three terms.

4. Polynomials and Polynomial Functions
Definitions
The Degree of a Term with one variable is the exponent on
the variable.
The Degree of a Term with more than one variable is the sum of the exponents on the variables.
The Degree of a Polynomial is the greatest degree of the terms of the polynomial variables.
