8. Polynomials– expressions with numbers and variables involving only addition, subtraction, and multiplication This year we’ll work a great deal with polynomials. It will pay to have a look at the various polynomial parts, the PP’s if you will. We have lions and tigers and bears– oh, wait. We have coefficients, variables, and exponents. With those parts, we can ONLY add, subtract, and multiply. Can someone give an example of a polynomial? (Think of the graphs you studied in Algebra I.)

9. Polynomials– expressions with numbers and variables involving only addition, subtraction, and multiplication a n x n + a n-1 x n-1 + a n-2 x n-2 + a n-3 x n-3 + … a 1 x + a 0 This is a general shape for a polynomial– looks odd, but we can have it make sense. Identify the parts: coefficient, leading coefficient variable exponent/ degree We have two ways to classify polynomials– size and degree: monomial, binomial, trinomial linear, quadratic, cubic, quartic, etc.
