POLYNOMIALS

Division of Polynomials using Long and Synthetic Division

Terms – made up of two different parts.

We have number parts and variable parts

Coefficient – can be positive or negative integers.

Exponent

Polynomials is a combination of terms that are all linked together using addition or subtraction.

We have specific terms of polynomials

1 term – monomial

2 terms – binomial

3 terms – trinomial

4 or more terms – polynomials

5 x 2−3 y

4 x2 −x+2

Properties of terms and polynomials called degree

How to determine our degree?

10 x 3

8 x 3 y 2 ( add the exponent )

7 x 4 +3 y 2 ( polynomials )

10 x 2+3 x 4 +2+ x +7 x 3+ 3 x 4 + 7 x 2 +10 x 2+ x +2

7+3 x−8 x 2
