POLYNOMIAL Function: • A polynomial is the monomial or the sum of monomials with all exponents as whole numbers and coefficients are all real numbers. • Ex- x 3+6 x 2+12 x+ 8

Is it a polynomial? a) b) c) d) YES NO NO YES

STANDARD FORM The terms of a polynomial are in STANDARD FORM when: • they are ordered from left to right in decreasing _______ order; which means from largest exponent to the ______ smallest ______

DEGREE: largest The _____exponent in the polynomial. It Number of Zeros determines the ___________. Ex: The degree of – 7 x + 9 – 4 x 2 is 2 ____ 2 is the largest exponent in because ___ the polynomial. Classifying: 0 – Constant 2 – Quadratic 1 – Linear 3 – Cubic 4 - Quartic

LEADING COEFFICIENT: first coefficient standard form The _______once in _________. CONSTANT: without The term _________ a variable.

STANDARD FORM a. Standard Form: Degree: b. Leading Coefficient: Constant: Standard Form: Leading Coefficient: Degree: Constant:

Some polynomials have SPECIAL NAMES that are determined by the following: degree A. Their _____ or B. Their _____ of terms number C. Look at the chart for an explanation.
