1. Warm-Up 1.) degreeleadingcoefficientpolynomial Find the degree and leading coefficient of the polynomial 2.) Perimeter Find the Perimeter of the Polygon Degree Degree: Leading Coefficient Leading Coefficient: 7 -4 4 4 4 4 5 5 P = 4 + 4 + 5 + 4 + 4 + 5 P = 26 units

2. CA STANDARDS 10.0: Students add, subtract, multiply, and divide monomials and polynomials. Agenda (2/1/12) 1.) Warm - Up 2.) Lesson Polynomials (Part 2) 3.) Assignment: Worksheet 5.5 – 1 Learning Objectives: Students will be able to write polynomials in ASCENDING and DESCENDING order.

3. polynomial  You Try: Identify the various part of the polynomial Degreepolynomial  Degree of polynomial Coefficients  Coefficients Leading Coefficient  Leading Coefficient Degreeterm  Degree of each term Leadingterm  Leading term 7 2 83 8 5 3 -4 -2 -4

4. Descending Order Descending Order: BigsmallBiggestdegree “Big to small” – Biggest degree first. Ascending Order Ascending Order: SmallBigSmallest degree “Small to Big” – Smallest degree first. Big Small Small Big

5. polynomial descendingascending Put each polynomial in “descending” and “ascending” order: Ascending Descending

6.  “Combine like terms” and put in “descending” order. 2 9 -5 -4 -2x 12x -5 3 2 x x # 2 x 3 4 4x4x 3 Descending “Descending order” Big Small
