1. Polynomials Def: A Monomial is a product of a number and a variable raised to a whole power. k = 0,1,2,3….. ( Degree) a = coefficient

2. Examples of Monomials Degree = 3 Degree = 6 Degree = 0

3. Examples of Monomials -2x³Degree = 3 Degree = 6 8 Degree = 0

4. Polynomials are created by adding monomials together.

5. Degree of a Polynomial = Highest power Degree =3 Degree = 1 Degree = 5

6. Special Names A polynomial with one term = monomial A polynomial with two terms = binomial A polynomial with three terms = trinomial A Second Degree polynomial = Quadratic A Third Degree polynomial = Cubic

7. Identify each Polynomial 4x² - 7xQuadratic, Binomial 6x³ - 9x + 3 Cubic, Trinomial 9x² + 8x – 9Quadratic, Trinomial 7x 4 – 5x² +1Fourth Degree Polynomial
