    Algebra generalizes arithmetic and uses numbers and letters to represent numbers. An algebraic expression contains terms connected by plus and minus signs. A term is either a single number or a letter representing a number or the product of numbers and letters. A polynomial is an algebraic expression containing one or more terms with whole number exponents on the variables. The degree of a term is the exponent of its variable(s), and the degree of a polynomial is the highest exponent among its terms.

    Main Terms

    Algebra

    is defined as a branch of mathematics which generalizes the facts in

    arithmetic, uses numbers and letters that represent numbers.

    Algebraic Expression

    expression that contains one or more terms connected by plus or minus signs

    Algebraic Term

    either a single number or a letter of the product of several numbers or letters

    Polynomial

    an algebraic expression that represents one term or the sum of several term

    containing whole number exponents on the variables

    Degree of a term w/ one variable

    ● The degree of a term that only one variable is the exponent of that variable

    Degree of a term w/ more than one variable

    ● The degree of a term that has more than one variable


    ● The sum of the exponents of the variable of the terms

    Degree of polynomials w/ one variable

    ● Highest power appearing in any of the terms

    Degree of polynomials w/ more than one variable

    ● The highest sum of the exponents of the variables in any of the terms

    No variable means that the variable is raised to zero
