Topics 1 & 2: Simplifying Polynomials and Exponential Expressions
Polynomial Operations:
Remember: Do what makes sense.
• Addition/Subtraction: Combine like-terms only Multiplication: Every term by every term
(𝑦 2 − 𝑦) − 5(𝑦 + 2𝑦 2 ) (𝑘 + 3)(𝑘 2 − 3𝑘 + 1)

• Division: Factor FIRST! Do not break up polynomials

Exponent Rules:
Remember: Exponents are always a little off from regular arithmetic rules.
• Addition/Subtraction: Combine coefficients 6𝑎3 − 4𝑎 3 + 3𝑎5 + 7𝑎 3 =3a7
of like-terms; exponents are unchanged

• Multiplication: Multiply coefficients; add (5𝑏2 )(2𝑏4 ) =


exponents of like-bases

• Division: Divide coefficients; subtract 24𝑐 7

• Negative Exponents: “I’m stuck on the wrong 𝑑−5
