expression that contains a variable, a constant, or a
combination of constant and variable.)

C. Presenting Discussion:
examples of Definition of terms
the new lesson In the algebraic expression 3 x 2−x+ 5, 3 x 2 , -x and 5 are
called the terms.
Term is a constant, a variable or a product of constant and
variable.
In the term 3 x 2 , 3 is called the numerical coefficient and x 2
is called the literal coefficient.
In the term -x, it has a numerical coefficient which is -1
and a literal coefficient which is x.
The last term, which is 5, is called the constant.
Leading Term the first term in a standard form.
Leading Coefficient the coefficient of the leading term.
Constant a term without a variable.
Numerical Coefficient is a constant/number.
Literal Coefficient is the variable including its exponent.
In literal coefficient x 2 , x is called the base, and 2 is called
the exponent.
Degree means the highest exponent or the highest sum of
exponents of the variables in the term.
Examples:
2
3 x −x+ 5, the degree is 2.
2 3 4 3
3 x y −3 x y , the degree is 7.

D. Discussing Discussion:
 new concepts A polynomial is a kind of algebraic expression where
and practicing each term is constant, a variable or a product of a constant
new skills #1 and variable in which the variable has a whole number
exponent. It can be monomial, binomial, trinomial or
multinomial.

An algebraic expression is NOT a polynomial if:

1.) The exponent of the variable is not a whole
number.
3
Ex. 3 x . 2 +5 x−7
2.) The variable is inside the radical sign.
Ex. 3 x 2 √ 2 x −1
3.) The variable is in the denominator.
3 2
Ex. 2 −x −1
x
4.) The exponent is negative.
Ex. 3 x−2−x +5

E. Discussing Discussion:
new concepts Kinds of polynomials according to its degree
and practicing 1. Constant – a polynomial of degree zero.
new skills #2 Ex. 20, -8
2. Linear - a polynomial of degree one.
Ex. 2x + 7, x-7
3. Quadratic - a polynomial of degree two.
Ex. 3 x 2−x+ 5, y 2−7
4. Cubic - a polynomial of degree three.
Ex. 60 x 3−60 x 2+5 x +7 , 100 y 3
5. Quartic - a polynomial of degree four.
Ex. 8 x 4−60 x 2 +5 x+ 7, 56 y 4 −6
6. Quintic - a polynomial of degree five.
Ex. 60 x 5+ 9 x+7 , 6 y 5 +10 y 2 - 9

A polynomial in Standard Form if its terms are arranged

from the term with the highest degree, up to the term with
the lowest degree.

Example:
Given Polynomials Standard Form
2 3 3 2
−60 x + 60 x +5+7 x 60 x −60 x +7 x +5
2 5 3 5 3 2
2 x −5 x −2 x +3 x−10 −5 x −2 x +2 x + 3 x−10

 Kind of polynomials according to the number of terms.
1. Monomial – a polynomials with only one term.
Ex. 8 ab 2 c ,
2. Binomial - polynomials with two terms.
3. Ex. 4x + 3
4. Trinomial - polynomials with three terms.
Ex. 3 x 2−x+ 5
5. Multinomial - polynomials with four terms and
more.
Ex. 60 x 3−60 x 2+5 x +7

G. Finding Your classmate insisted that the degree of the polynomial

(3 ¿ ¿ 4−5 x +8 x −x )¿ is 4. However, another member of
3 2
practical
applications of the class claimed that the degree of the given polynomial is
concepts not 4 but 3. With whom do you agree and why?
(Expected answer: the degree is 3 since 4 is not an
exponent of a variable.)

H. Making Ask the following questions:

generalization
s and 1) How will you identify if an algebraic expression is a
abstractions polynomial?
about the
lesson (Expected answer: when term has no variable in the
denominator; no fractional exponent on any of its
variable; no variable under the radical sign; and no
negative exponent on any of its variables.)

2) Give an example of a term and identify its numerical

and literal coefficients. (Answer may vary)

3) Give examples of a monomial, binomial, and trinomial.

(Answer may vary)

4) How will you identify the degree of a term with more

than one variable? (Expected answer: add the exponents of
the variables in any of the terms)
