A monomial is a number, a variable, or a product
of numbers and variables with whole-number
exponents.

The degree of a monomial is the sum of the


exponents of the variables. A constant has
degree 0.

Writing Polynomials in Standard Form

The standard form of a polynomial that


contains one variable is written with the
terms in order from greatest degree to least
degree. When written in standard form, the
coefficient of the first term is called the
leading coefficient.
Write the polynomial in standard form. Then
give the leading coefficient.
6x – 7x5 + 4x2 + 9
Find the degree of each term. Then arrange them in
descending order:
6x – 7x5 + 4x2 + 9 –7x5 + 4x2 + 6x + 9

Degree 1 5 2 0 5 2 1 0

The standard form is –7x5 + 4x2 + 6x + 9. The leading


coefficient is –7.
Write the polynomial in standard form. Then
give the leading coefficient.
y2 + y6 – 3y
Find the degree of each term. Then arrange them in
descending order:
y2 + y6 – 3y y6 + y2 – 3y

Degree 2 6 1 6 2 1
The standard form is y6 + y2 – 3y. The leading
coefficient is 1.
Remember!
A variable written without a coefficient has a
coefficient of 1.

Degree 5 8 1 8 5 1

Application
A tourist accidentally drops her lip balm off the
Golden Gate Bridge. The bridge is 220 feet from
the water of the bay. The height of the lip balm
is given by the polynomial –16t2 + 220, where t
is time in seconds. How far above the water will
the lip balm be after 3 seconds?
Substitute the time for t to find the lip balm’s
height. –16t2 + 220
–16(3)2 + 220 The time is 3 seconds.

–16(9) + 220
–144 + 220 Evaluate the polynomial by using
the order of operations.
