1a 1 - Polynomial Characteristics - Guided Notes Annotated

This document provides an introduction to classifying and manipulating polynomials. It defines key polynomial terminology such as monomial, binomial, trinomial, degree, leading coefficient, and constant term. Examples are provided to demonstrate how to determine if a function is a polynomial, write polynomials in standard form, calculate the degree of polynomials, and add or subtract polynomials by combining like terms. Students are assigned homework to complete a table classifying polynomials and practice problems for adding and subtracting polynomials.

LETS BEGIN!!!

FOCUS: CLASSIFYING POLYNOMIALS BY THE


# OF TERMS AND ITS DEGREE

Daily Questions.

1. How do I name/classify polynomials?


2. How do I add and subtract polynomials?
(Tomorrow)

POLYNOMIAL Function:

A polynomial is the monomial or


the sum of monomials with all
exponents as whole numbers and
coefficients are all real numbers.
Ex- x3+6x2+12x
+8

Is it a polynomial?
a)

f x x 3x

b)

f x x 3x 2x 5

c)

f x 6x4 2x1 x

d)

f x 0.5x x 2

YES

NO

VOCABULARY
COPY BELOW . (3MIN)
Monomial: A number, a variable or the product of
a number and one or more variables.
Polynomial: A monomial or a sum of monomials
.
Binomial: A polynomial with exactly two terms.
Trinomial: A polynomial with exactly three terms.
Coefficient: A numerical factor in a term of an
algebraic expression.

STANDARD FORM
The terms of a polynomial are in
STANDARD FORM when:

they are ordered from left to right in


______________
order; which means
decreasin
g the
from
____________ exponent to the
largest
____________
smallest

DEGREE:
largest
The _________exponent
in the
Number of Zeros
polynomial. It determines
the
_____________________.
2 2 is
Ex: The degree of 7x + 9 4x
2
____ because
___ is the largest
exponent in the polynomial.

When Classifying:
0 Constant
1 Linear

BUT.FOR MULTIVARIABLES YOU


MUST CALCULATE THE DEGREE!
If it is a multi-variable term, you add the exponents of all of
the variables for each term and take the highest.
4x2y + 2x y3 + 9
This is a 4th degree polynomial (3+1=4). Dont forget the
understood 1s!!!!
