B. Review
In our previous lessons, you have encountered
algebraic expressions. In your own words, who would
like to give the definition of an algebraic expression?
Yes, John?
Sir, an algebraic expression is an expression which
involves any combination of constants and
variables involving at least one of the basic
Excellent, John. operations.
Who would like to give me an example of an algebraic
expression?
Yes, May?
Sir, one example of an algebraic expression is x2.
Very good, May.
Who wants to give another example?
Yes, Jerico?
SIr, another example of an algebraic expression is
Brilliant, Jerico. 3x – 1.
Who wants to give the last example?
Yes, Precious?
Sir, one more example of an algebraic expression is
Very good, Precious. 2x4 – 4y3.

You have also learned that if the algebraic expression

involves the addition or subtraction operation, the
parts separated by the plus or minus signs are called
terms.
In the algebraic expression 2x4 – 4y3, how many terms
are there?
Yes, Mark?
Sir, in the algebraic expression 2x4 – 4y3, there are
Good job, Mark. exactly two terms.
Who can give me the terms in the given algebraic
expression?
Yes, Ivan?
Sir, the terms in the given algebraic expression are
Excellent, Ivan. 2x4 and – 4y3.

C. Lesson Proper
There is a special type of algebraic expression where
each term is a constant, a variable or a product of
constants and variables raised to non-negative
integral exponents. This is called a Polynomial.
Based from the given definition, who would like to
give me an example of a Polynomial?
Yes, Joana?
Sir, one example of a Polynomial is 3x2 – 7.
Very good, Joana.

Can you give me another example of a Polynomial,

Stephen?
Sir, another example of a polynomial is
Brilliant, Stephen. 4xy – 5x + 1.

In the Polynomial 3x4 + 6x3 – 2x2 + x – 7, can you

identify the leading term?
Yes, Rosh?

Very good, Rosh. Sir, the leading term is 3x4.

Who can give me the leading coefficient of the given
polynomial?
Yes, Azac?
SIr, the leading coefficient of the given polynomial
Excellent, Azac. is 3.
How about the constant term of the given
polynomial?
Yes, Cielly?
Sir, the constant term of the polynomial is -7.
Good job, Cielly.
Lastly, who can identify the degree of the given
polynomial?
Yes, Rufa?

Very good, Rufa. Sir, the degree of the polynomial is 4.

We also have the different kinds of polynomials

according to the number of terms.

Given the polynomial 3xy, who can give me the

correct number of terms?
Yes, Princess?

Excellent, Princess. Sir, the number of term /s is 1.

Therefore, a polynomial of one term is called
Monomial.
Can you give me your own example, Cath?

That’s correct. Thank you, Cath. Sir, another example of a monomial is 2ab.

Given the polynomial 4a + 3b, who can identify the

number of terms?
Yes, Mary?
Sir, the number of terms of the polynomial
Very well said, Mary. 4a + 3b is 2.
A polynomial of two terms is called a Binomial.
Who can now give me his/her own example of a
binomial? Yes, Ruby?
Good job, Ruby. Sir another example of a binomial is 3x2 – 7.

Given the polynomial x2 – 2x + 2, who can give me the

number of terms?
Yes, Rose?
Sir, the number of terms of the given polynomial is
Exactly, Rose. Very good. 3.
A polynomial of three terms is called a Trinomial.
Who wants to give his/her own example?
Yes, Coleen?
Sir, another example of a trinomial is
Very good, Coleen. Thank you. 4xy – 5x + 1.

Given the polynomial a + b – 3c + d + e, who can give

me the number of terms?
Yes, Gilbert?
Sir, the number of terms of the polynomial
Very good, Gilbert. a + b – 3c + d + e is 5.
Another given polynomial is x3 – x2 – x – 1, who wants
to identify the number of terms?
Yes, Jerico?
Sir, the number of terms of the given polynomial is
Correct. Thank you, Jerico. 4.
A polynomial of two or more terms is a multinomial.
Can you give me your own example, Rica?
Sir, another example of a multinomial is
Excellent, Rica. a3 – 3a2 + 2a – 1.

We now move on to the kinds of polynomials

according to the degree.

Kinds of Polynomials According to the Degree

Constant 5 Degree 0
Linear 3y + 7 Degree 1
Quadratic 3g – 4g2 + 3 Degree 2
Cubic b3 – 2b2 + b Degree 3
Quartic m4 – 3mn Degree 4
Quintic x5 – x + 6x2 Degree 5

There are also a lot of things that we need to consider

in dealing with the degree of the polynomials.
(PowerPoint Presentation)
i. The degree of a constant is zero (0).
Ex: 8 = degree 0
ii. The degree of a monomial in 1 variable is the
exponent of the variable.
Ex: y4 = degree 4
iii. The degree of a monomial in 2 or more
variables is the sum of the exponents of the
variables.
Ex: 3xy2z3 = degree 6 (1+2+3)
iv. The degree of a polynomial in 1 variable is the
highest exponent of the variable.
Ex: 2x2 + x3 – 3x = degree 3
v. The degree of a polynomial in 2 or more
variables is the highest sum of the variables in
each term.
Ex: x3y2 – 3x4y5 = degree 9

D. Generalization
In your own understanding, what is a polynomial?
Yes, May?

Sir, a polynomial is a special type of algebraic

expression where each term is a constant, a

Who can give me the different kinds of polynomials
according to the number of terms?
Yes, Mary Rose?

Sir, the kinds of polynomials according to the

Very well said, Mary Rose. number of terms are monomial, binomial, trinomial
and multinomial.
Give me the first two kinds of polynomials according
to the degree?
Yes, Glydel?

according to the degree?
Yes, Gilbert?
 Sir, the other kinds of polynomials according to the
degree are quadratic with degree 2 and cubic with
degree 3.
Good job, Gilbert.
Who can give the last two kinds of polynomials
according to the degree?
Yes, Sharah? Sir, the last two kinds of polynomials according to
the degree are quartic with degree 4 and quantic
with degree 5.

Brilliant, Sharah.
