POLYNOMIALS

POLYNOMIALS - are algebraic


expressions that consist of variables and
coefficients that are separated by a plus.
or minus sign

Examples:
3
x
x+5
4x² + 7x - 1
12 + 8x² - x + 5x
TERM/S - variables and coefficients
separated by a plus or
minus
sign

Example:
+-1
1 2 3 - there are three
terms
DEGREE - highest exponent three
term

Example:
7 - 4 + 6 - 10
- the highest exponent is 3
therefore the degree is 3
