1
An algebraic expression is a mathematical expression containing numbers, variables, and operational signs. Algebraic Expression
2
A constant is a number whose value does not change. Constant
3
A term is a constant, a variable, or the product of a constant and one or more variables. Terms are always separated from each other by a plus or minus sign. Term
4
The numerical coefficient is the number factor (constant) accompanying the variable in a term. Numerical Coefficient
5
A monomial is a real number, a variable, or the product of a real number and variable(s) with nonnegative integer exponents. Monomial
6
A polynomial is a monomial or the sum or difference of two or more monomials. Polynomial
7
A binomial is a polynomial consisting of exactly two terms. Binomial
8
A trinomial is a polynomial consisting of exactly three terms. Trinomial
9
Monomial: 3x Binomial: 3x + 4 Trinomial: 2x 2 + 3x + 4
10
Example Is 4x + 5 a polynomial? If not, why not? yes
11
Is 2x – 1 + 5 a polynomial? If not, why not? no; negative exponent Example
12
Is 2 – 1 x + 5 a polynomial? If not, why not? yes (The exponent of the variable is 1.) Example
13
Is a polynomial? If not, why not? no; negative exponent 3x3x 3x3x Example
14
Is 4y 2 x + 3x 2 y a polynomial? If not, why not? yes Example
15
Is 3x a polynomial? If not, why not? no; fractional exponent 1212 1212 Example
16
Is 3 x a polynomial? If not, why not? no; variable exponent Example
17
The sum of the exponents of the variables contained in a term is the degree of the term. Degree of the Term
18
The highest degree of any of the individual terms of a polynomial is the degree of the polynomial. Degree of the Polynomial
19
Polynomial Degree 2 2 0 0 2 is the same as 2x 0, since x 0 = 1.
20
Polynomial Degree 3x3x 3x3x 1 1 The variable x is the same as x 1.
21
Polynomial Degree – 2x2y– 2x2y – 2x2y– 2x2y 3 3 The variable y has an exponent of 1; 2 + 1 = 3.
22
Polynomial Degree x 3 y 2 + 3x 2 + 2y 4 – 8 5 5 The term x 3 y 2 has a degree of 5. This is the highest- degree term in the polynomial.
23
Give the degree of 3x 5 + 1 and identify the type of polynomial by special name (monomial, binomial, or trinomial). 5; binomial Example
24
Give the degree of – 5 and identify the type of polynomial by special name (monomial, binomial, or trinomial). 0; monomial Example
25
Give the degree of 4x 8 + 3x – 1 and identify the type of polynomial by special name (monomial, binomial, or trinomial). 8; trinomial Example
26
Give the degree of 3xy 2 + 5x and identify the type of polynomial by special name (monomial, binomial, or trinomial). 3; binomial Example
27
Give the degree of (– 5) 2 and identify the type of polynomial by special name (monomial, binomial, or trinomial). 0; monomial Example
28
Give the degree of (– x) 2 and identify the type of polynomial by special name (monomial, binomial, or trinomial). 2; monomial Example
29
Evaluate x 2 – 6x – 18 when x = 7. = – 11 x 2 – 6x – 18 = 7 2 – 6(7) – 18 = 49 – 42 – 18 Example 1
30
Evaluate – 3x 3 y + 4x 2 y 2 when x = 6 and y = – 2. = 1,872 – 3x 3 y + 4x 2 y 2 = – 3(6) 3 (– 2) + 4(6) 2 (– 2) 2 = – 3(216)(– 2) + 4(36)(4) Example 2 = 1,296 + 576
31
Evaluate 3x 2 + 4x – 5 when x = 2. 15 Example
