Definition Monomial a number a variable or the
Definition: Monomial - a number, a variable, or the product of a number and one or more variables with whole number exponents. . Degree of a Monomial - is the sum of the exponents of the variables. I am able to: I will be able to classify and identify the degree of a polynomial. I will be able to find the sum or difference of a polynomial. Polynomial - is a monomial or a sum of monomials, each called a term. Degree of a polynomial - is the greatest degree of its terms. Binomial - a polynomial with 2 terms. Trinomial - a polynomial with 3 terms. Number Ex. Add & Subtract Polynomials Write so that the exponents decrease from left to right. Identify its degree and leading coefficient of the polynomial. Picture Ex. Tell whether the expression is a polynomial. If it is a polynomial, find its degree and classify it by the number of its terms. Otherwise, tell why it is not a polynomial Degree: 4 Yes, 3 rd degree Monomial Leading Coefficient: -4 No, it has a negative exponent Yes, 4 th degree trinomial Yes, 6 th degree binomial No, exponent cannot be a variable or negative
Definition: I am able to: Find the sum. Reorder in exponential order Reorder with like terms in exponential order Add like terms (same variable with same exponents. Add & Subtract Polynomials Number Ex. Picture Ex. (Continued) Find the difference Distribute the -1 Reorder with like terms in exponential order
