9.1 Adding and Subtracting Polynomials

MonomialIs an expression that is a number, variable, or a product of a number and one or more variables.

Ex: 3, y, -4x2y, c/3

c/3 is a monomial, but c/x is not because there is a variable in the denominator.

Degree of a Monomial

Is the sum of the exponents of its variables. For nonzero constant the degree is zero.

Ex 1: Find the degree of the monomial.

a)18 degree ___

The degree of a nonzero constant is __.

Ex 1: Find the degree of the monomial.

a)18 degree _0_

The degree of a nonzero constant is _0_.

b) 3xy3 Degree ___

The exponenta are ___ and ___. Their sum is ___

b) 3xy3 Degree _4_

The exponents are _1_ and _3_. Their sum is _4_

c) 6c Degree: __ 6c = 6c1. The exponent is ___.

c) 6c Degree: _1_ 6c = 6c1. The exponent is _1_.

PolynomialIs a monomial or the sum or difference of two or more monomials.

Ex: 4y + 2, 2x2 – 3x +1

In the Standard Form of a Polynomial

The degrees of the monomials terms decrease from left to right.

Degree of a Polynomial

• Is the same as the degree of the monomial with the greatest exponent.

BinomialIs a polynomial of two terms.

Ex: 3c + 4

TrinomialIs a polynomial of three terms.

Ex: 2x4 + x2 - 2

Ex:

(5x2 + 3x +4) + (3x2 + 5)

8x2 + 3x +9

Finding the Greatest Common Factor

•GCF – what monomial is a factor in each term.

Ex 2: Find the GCF of 2x4 + 10x2 - 6x

• List the prime factors of each term.

2x4 = 2• x • • x •

10x2 = 2• • x •

6x = 2• x

2x4 = 2• x • x • x • x10x2 = 2• x • x • x6x = 2 • 3 • xWhich prime factors are in term?

2x4 = 2• x • x • x • x10x2 = 2• x • x • x6x = 2 • 3 • xWhich prime factors are in term? A ‘2’ and an ‘x’.

•The GCF is 2x.

•Do QC #2a – c, Pg. 501.

Factoring Out a Monomial

Find the GCF and then factor out the GCF from each term.

Factoring Out a Monomial Factor

• Ex: Factor 4x3 +12x2 – 16x

First find the GCF.

List the prime factors.

4x3 =

12x2 =

16x =


4x3 = 2• •x• • •

12x2 = 2 • 2 • • x • x

16x = 2 • • 2 • • x


4x3 = 2• 2 •x• x • x •

12x2 = 2 • 2 • 3 • x • x

16x = 2 • 2 • 2 • 2 • x


4x3 = 2• 2 •x• x • x •

12x2 = 2 • 2 • 3 • x • x

16x = 2 • 2 • 2 • 2 • x

The GCF is 4x.

Now Factor Out the GFC.

4x3 +12x2 – 16x

4x( ) + ( )(3x) + 4x(-4)

4x( x2 ) + ( 4x )(3x) + 4x(-4)

( ) (x2 + - )

(4x) (x2 + 3x - 4 )

Ex: 5x3 + 105 goes into each term

5(x3) + 5(2)

5(x3 + 2)

Ex: 6x3 + 12x2

6x2 goes into each term.

6x2 (x) + 6x2 (2)6x2 (x + 2)

Ex: 12u3v2 + 16uv4

4uv2 goes into each term.

4uv2(3u2) + 4uv2(4v2)

4uv2(3u2 + 4v2)

Ex: 18y4 – 6y3 + 12y2 6y2 goes into each term.

6y2(3y2) - 6y2(y) + 6y2(2)

6y2(3y2 – y + 2)

Ex: 8x4y3 + 6x2y4 2x2y3 goes into each term.

2x2y3(4x2) + 2x2y3(3y)

2x2y3(4x2 + 3y)

Ex: 5x3y4 + 7x2z3 + 3y2z

There is no common factor.

9 – 3 Multiplying Binomials

Using the Distributive Property

Ex 1: (4y + 5)(y + 3)


Ex 1: (4y + 5)(y + 3)

4y(y + 3) + 5(y + 3)


Ex 1: (4y + 5)(y + 3)

4y(y + 3) + 5(y + 3)

4y2 + 12y + 5y + 15


Ex 1: (4y + 5)(y + 3)

4y(y + 3) + 5(y + 3)

4y2 + 12y + 5y + 15

Combine like terms


Ex 1: (4y + 5)(y + 3)

4y(y + 3) + 5(y + 3)

4y2 + 12y + 5y + 15

Combine like terms

4y2 + 17y + 15

Use the Distributive Property

Ex 2: (3a – b)(a + 7)

3a(a + 7) – b(a + 7)

3a2 + 21a – ab – 7b

No like terms

Multiply (x – 3)(x + 3) using (a – b)(a + b) = a2 – b2

You can only use this rule when the binomials are exactly the same except for

the sign.

(x – 3)(x + 3)

a = x and b = 3

(x)2 – (3)2

x2 – 9

Ex: Multiply: (y – 2)(y + 2)(y)2 – (2)2

2. 16m2 + 9n2

4. 16m2 + 24mn + 9n2

•The product of the sum and difference of two terms is the square of the first term minus the square of the second term.

(A + B)(A – B) A2 – B2

•When multiplying the sum and difference of two expressions, why does the product always have at most two terms?

The other terms are additive inverses of each other and cancel each other out.

EX: (r + 2)(r – 2)

r2 – 2r + 2r – 4

r2 – 4

Ex: (2x + 3)(2x – 3)

4x2 – 6x + 6x – 9

4x2 – 9

Ex: (ab + c)(ab – c)

a2b2 – c2

Ex:

(-3x + 4y)(-3x – 4y)

9x2 – 16y2

Squaring Binomials The square of a binomial is the square if the first term, plus or minus twice the product of the two terms, plus the square of the last term.

(A + B)2 = A2 + 2AB + B2

(A - B)2 = A2 - 2AB + B2

9 – 7 Factoring Special Cases

In 9 – 4 we used the square of binomials.

(A + B)2 = A2 + 2AB + B2

(A - B)2 = A2 - 2AB + B2

EX: (x + 8)2 or (x - 8)2

A = x and B = 8

A2 + 2AB + B2

(x)2 + 2(x)(8) + (8)2

x2 + 16x + 64

A = x and B = 8

A2 - 2AB + B2

(x)2 - 2(x)(8) + (8)2

x2 - 16x + 64

Perfect-Square Trinomials

A2 + 2AB + B2 =(A + B)(A + B) = (A + B)2

A2 - 2AB + B2 = (A - B) (A - B)

= (A - B)2

•The perfect-square trinomials are the reverse of the square binomials.

Ex 1: Where ‘A’ = 1

x2 + 10x + 25

A2 + 2AB + B2

A2 = x2 2AB = 10x B2 = 25

A = x and B = 5

(A + B)2

(x + 5)2

x2 + 10x + 25 = (x + 5)2

Always make sure the 1st and last terms are

perfect squares.

Ex 2: y2 – 22y + 121

Are y2 and 121 perfect squares?

Yes, both are perfect squares for y and 11

Since the middle term is negative, you subtract.

(y – 11)2

Ex 3: m2 + 6mn + 9n2

Perfect squares?

m2 m and 9n2 3n

(m + 3n)2

Ex 2: if A ≠ 1

64y2 + 48y + 9

Are 64y2 and 9 perfect squares?

YES

(8y)2 + 48y + (3)2

(8y + 3)2

The one thing you need to look at the middle term, is it

equal to 2AB.

2(8y)(3) = 48y

Ex: 16h2 + 40h + 25

(4h)2 + 40h + (5)2

Does 2AB = 40h?

2(4h)(5)

Yes, 40h

(4h + 5)2

Difference of Two Squares

A2 – B2 = (A + B)(A – B)

This is the reverse from section 9 – 4.

(A + B)(A – B) = A2 – B2

Make sure the A and B terms are perfect squares.

Ex: a2 – 16

Both are perfect squares a2 a and 16 4.

(a + 4)(a – 4)

Ex: m2 – 100 (m + 10)(m – 10)

Ex: 9b2 - 25Are both perfect squares?

Yes, 9b2 3b and 25 5

(3b + 5)(3b – 5)

Ex: 4w2 - 49(2w + 7)(2w – 7)

•Factor: 14a4 – 14a2

This is a binomial square.
