 ANSWER KEY FOR PART 1

Question #1 Yes. It is a polynomial because the exponents of

the variables are positive.

Question #2 No. The variable is in the denominator which

makes the exponent of the the variable negative.

Question #3 6. The degree of the polynomial is the highest

exponent of the variable in a polynomial.
 ANSWER KEY FOR PART 1

Question #4 3. Term is a product of variable and constants. A

single variable or constant is also considered a
term2
Question #5 - The standard form of the
15x 8 polynomial
5 2 is
-5x + 11x - 15x - 17
 ANSWER KEY FOR PART 2

Question #7 6t - t + 1 = 5t + (Combine like
1 terms)
3 8 3 8
Question #8 -7x + 4x - 3x - (Combine like
2x 3 3 8 terms)
8
= (-7x - 3x ) + (4x - 2x )
3 8
= -10x +
2x 8 3
= 2x - 10x
 ANSWER KEY FOR PART 2
