A Polynomial is an expression comprised of one or more terms. Terms are separated by + or – (Polynomials are written in descending order by exponent)

A Monomial has one term. A Binomial has two terms. A Trinomial has three terms. The Degree of a polynomial is the largest

exponent.

VOCABULARY

Page 3: Addition and Subtraction of Polynomials.  A Polynomial is an expression comprised of one or more terms. Terms are separated by + or – (Polynomials are.

1) 7x2 + x – 6

2) x2 - x3

3) 3a2b4

4) 1 – x3 + 3x – 2x2

Write in descending order, then state the degree and name

Page 4: Addition and Subtraction of Polynomials.  A Polynomial is an expression comprised of one or more terms. Terms are separated by + or – (Polynomials are.

1) (7x2 + x – 6) + (10x2- 3x + 9)

2) (5x2 + 2x – y) + (x2- 4x + 5)

3) (5a2b + ab + 2b) + (7a2b – 3ab – b)

To Add – just combine like terms!

1) (-x2 - 4x + 2) – (x3 + 3x + 9)

2) (4x2 - 3x + 6) – (x2- 7x + 8)

3) (x2 - 5x + 4) – (4x2 + 7x + 6)

To subtract – distribute, then combine like terms!
