Polynomials Algebra I
2
Vocabulary Monomial – a number, variable or a product of a number and one or more variables. Binomial – sum of two monomials. Trinomial – sum of three monomials. Polynomial – a monomial or a sum of monomials. Constants – monomials that are real numbers.
3
Examples Monomial Binomial Trinomial 13n -5z 2a + 3c 6x²+ 3xy
p²+ 5p + 4 3a²- 2ab - b²
4
More Vocabulary Terms – the individual monomial.
Degree of a monomial – sum of the exponents of all it’s variables. Degree of a polynomial – The greatest degree of any term in the polynomial. To find the degree of a polynomial, you must first find the degree of each term.
5
Examples Monomial Polynomial 8y³ degree is 3 3a degree is 1
5mn³degree is 4 -4x²y²+ 3x²y degree is 4 3a + 7ab – 2a²b degree is 3
6
Ordering Polynomials Ascending Order – ordering polynomials based on their exponents least to greatest. You will only look at one variable’s exponents, usually ‘x’, unless told otherwise. Descending Order – ordering polynomials based on their exponents greatest to least.
7
Ascending Example Arrange polynomials in ascending order 7x³+ 2x²- 11
Look at the exponents of the variable, choose the lowest. When there isn’t a variable with a term, it’s like there is an exponent of zero. 7x³+ 2x²- 11x° x²+ 7x³
8
Descending Example Arrange polynomials in descending order
6x²+ 5 – 8x – 2x³ 6x²+ 5x°- 8x – 2x³ -2x³+ 6x²- 8x + 5
9
Now you try… Arrange in descending order 9 + 4x³- 3x – 10x² Arrange in ascending order 10y³- 4y + 16
10
Now you try… Arrange in descending order 9 + 4x³- 3x – 10x² 4x³- 10x²- 3x + 9 Arrange in ascending order 10y³- 4y – 4y + 10y³

Subtracting Polynomials
Distribute the negative (minus) to the second set of parenthesis (include EVERYTHING in the parenthesis). (3n²+ 13n³+ 5n) – (7n – 4n³)
17
Subtracting Polynomials
Distribute the negative (minus) to the second set of parenthesis. (3n²+ 13n³+ 5n) – (7n – 4n³) This will change the signs of everything in the second set of parenthesis.

Multiplying Polynomials Using FOIL
When multiplying a binomial with a binomial you can use the FOIL method to simplify. First Outer Inner Last This is a way to remember to multiply each term of the expression.
35
Multiplying Polynomials Using FOIL
Multiply the First terms in each binomial (1x + 1)(1x + 2) 1x² Use the rules for monomials when multiplying! Don’t forget to put a “1” in before the variable, if there is not a coefficient.
