10.1 - A Classifying Polynomials - E - Preferred PDF

This document provides information about classifying and working with polynomials. Polynomials can be classified by the number of terms they contain, with monomials having 1 term, binomials having 2 terms, and trinomials having 3 terms. They can also be classified by degree, which refers to the highest exponent of the variable. The document includes a table to classify polynomials by degree, number of terms, and name. It also provides examples of adding and subtracting polynomials.

Classifying Polynomials
Polynomials can be classified (named) by the number of terms.
Polynomial Number of terms Name
3x 2 1 term monomial
5x  8 2 terms binomial
4 x 2  9 x  10 3 terms trinomial

Polynomials can also be classified by the degree (largest exponent of the variable).
Polynomial Degree Name
–24 0 degree (no power of x ) constant
2x  8 1st degree (x to the 1st power) linear
3x 2  7 2nd degree ( x 2 ) quadratic
12 x 3  10 3rd degree ( x 3 ) cubic

DIRECTIONS: Complete the table below.
