    The document defines polynomials and their classification. It states that polynomials must have positive integer exponents, cannot have variables in denominators, and cannot be under radicals. It then defines monomials, binomials, and trinomials based on the number of terms. Polynomials are classified by degree from linear to quintic. They can be written in ascending or descending order, and the leading coefficient refers to the first term when in descending order. Similar terms have the same variables and exponents.

    ● Rules of Polynomials

    1. The exponent of letters must be positive integers


    2. Polynomials do not have variables in any denominator
    3. Polynomials do not have variables under a radical sign

    🤍 Monomial - polynomial that contains 1 term (Mono = 1) Binomial - polynomial that is a sum of
    2 terms (Bi = 2) Trinomial - polynomial that is a sum of 3 terms (Tri = 3)

    </aside>

    Classifying Polynomial According to Degree

    1. Linear - first degree polynomial


    2. Quadratic - second degree polynomial
    3. Cubic - Third degree polynomial
    4. Quartic - Fourth degree polynomial
    5. Quintic - 5th degree polynomial
    6. nth - Degree polynomial (w/ nth degree more than a 5 degree)

    Ways to write polynomials

    ● ascending order —> small to big


    ● descending order —> big to small

    Leading Coefficients

    ● Coefficients of the first term of a polynomial which is written in decreasing order

    Similar Terms

    ● Terms that are exactly alike or that are like except for their numerical coefficients
    ● With same variable/s and exponents (same literal coefficients)

    🤍 Same sign = add unlike sign = subtract (sign w/ higher number)
