Introduction to Polynomials
Monomial: a number, a variable, or a product of numbers and variables with whole-number exponents.
Degree of a monomial: is the sum of the exponents of the variables. A constant has degree 0.
Vocab
Polynomial: an expression of more than two algebraic terms.Example: 3x4 + 5x2 – 7x + 1
Degree of a polynomial is the degree of the term with the greatest power/exponent.
Example: The degree of 3x4 + 5x2 – 7x + 1 is 4.
Vocab
Find the degree of each polynomial.
1. 11x7 + 3x3
2.
Degree of a Polynomial
Standard form of a polynomial: Polynomial written with the terms in order from greatest degree to least degree.
Leading Coefficient: When written in standard form, the coefficient of the first term is called the leading coefficient.
Example: 3x4 + 5x2 – 7x + 1 and 3 is the leading coefficient.
Vocab
Write the polynomial in standard form. Then give the leading coefficient.

Adding and Subtracting Polynomials
Just as you can perform operations on numbers, you can perform operations on polynomials. To add or subtract polynomials, combine like terms.
Adding and Subtracting Polynomials
Like terms are constants or terms with the same variable(s) raised to the same power(s).
Remember!
Combine like terms.

2. 5x2 – 6 – 3x + 8

3. 2s2 + 3s2 + s – 3s2 – 5s
Combine like terms.
4. 4z4 – 8 + -2z2 +16z4 + 2 + 5z3 – 7
Let’s Practice…
Polynomials can be added in either vertical or horizontal form.
In vertical form, align the like terms and add:
In horizontal form, use the Associative and Commutative Properties to regroup and combine like terms.
(5x2 + 4x + 1) + (2x2 + 5x + 2)
= (5x2 + 2x2) + (4x + 5x) + (1 + 2)
= 7x2 + 9x + 3
5x2 + 4x + 1
+ 2x2 + 5x + 27x2 + 9x + 3

7.
To subtract polynomials, remember that subtracting is the same as adding the opposite (distributing the negative). To find the opposite of a polynomial, you must write the opposite of each term in the polynomial:
–(2x3 – 3x + 7)= –2x3 + 3x – 7

12. Sarah manages a manufacturing plant. From 1990 through 2005, the number of units produced (in thousands) can be modeled by N(x) = 3x2 + 2x – 4, where x is the number of years since 1990. The average cost per unit in dollars can be modeled by C(x) = -x2 + x – 5, where x is the number of years since 1990. Write a polynomial that can be used to model Sarah’s totalmanufacturing cost for those years.

Factoring Polynomials
Vocab: Factoring
Factoring is rewriting an expression as a product of factors.
It is the reverse of multiplying polynomials FOILing.
2x x cb
To determine the factors, ask yourself…
What two #’s add to the middle number AND multiply to the
last number?!?!
Let’s Practice…
2 3 2x x
What adds (or subtracts) to get 3 and multiplies to
get 2?
2 7 10x x
What adds (or subtracts) to get -7 and
multiplies to get 10?
2 7 44x x
What adds (or subtracts) to get -7 and multiplies to get
-44?

The greatest common factor (GCF) is a common factor of the terms in the expression.
Example:

Expanded Form
When factoring problems where a ≠ 1, we first want to get the problem into expanded form before we try to factor.
Expanded Form
Creating Expanded Form
Step 1: Multiply a·c
Step 2: To get to expanded form ask yourself “What multiplies to get a·c, and add/subtracts to get to b.”
Example:
1. Expand: 2x2 +9x +7
2. Expand: 3x2 + 2x – 8
Method 1:
Step 3: Write your new factors in place of bx.
Step 4: Group the first two terms together and the last two terms together.
Step 5: Factor each group
Step 6: Factor again to get the complete factorization
Method 1: 6x2 + 13 x +5 1) Multiply a·c (6·5=30)
2) To get to expanded form ask yourself “What multiplies to get a·c, and add/subtracts to get to b.” (10, 3)
3) Write your new factors in place of bx. (6x2+10x+3x+5)
4) Group the first two terms together and the last two terms together. [(6x2+10x)+(3x+5)]
5) Factor each group [2x(3x+5)+1(3x+5)]
6) Factor again to get the complete factorization [(3x+5)(2x+1)]
Method 2: 6x2 + 13 x +5
Step 3: Fill in box.
Step 4: Factor horizontally and vertically.
Step 5: Terms outside of box are the solution.

Factoring by Grouping
Factoring by Grouping – Using the distributive property to factor polynomials with
four or more terms.
– Terms can be put into groups and then factored---- each group will have a “like” factor used in regrouping.
A polynomial can be factored by grouping if all of the following conditions exist.
1. There are four or more terms.
2. Terms have common factors that can be grouped together, and
3. There are two common factors that are identical.
Symbols: ax + bx + ay + by = (ax + bx) + (ay + by)
= x(a + b) + y(a + b)
= (x + y)(a + b)
