KEY CONCEPTS AND VOCABULARY

A __________________________ is a real number, a variable, or the

product of real numbers and variables (Note: the variables must have

positive integer exponents to be a monomial).

The ___________________________________________________ is the sum

of the exponents of its variables.

A _________________________ is a monomial or a sum of monomials.

___________________________________________

means that the degrees of its monomial terms are

written in descending order.

The ___________________________________

_______________________ is the same as the degree

of the monomial with the greatest exponent.

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1: IDENTIFYING POLYNOMIALS

Determine whether each expression is a polynomial. If it is a polynomial, classify the polynomial by the degree and number of terms. a) 2x 2 − 3x 3 + 4x b) 12x 2 + 10x −3 c) x

2 + 3x + 4x 2 d) 5

ADDING AND SUBTRACTING POLYNOMIALS MACC.912.A-APR.A.1: Understand that polynomials form a system analogous to the integers, namely, they are closed under the

operations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication; add, subtract, and multiply polynomials. MACC.912.A-SSE.A.1a: Interpret parts of an expression, such as terms, factors, and coefficients.
