• Polynomial comes from poly- (meaning "many") and -nomial (in this case meaning "term") ... so it says "many terms“

Page 3: Polynomials. Polynomial comes from poly- (meaning "many") and -nomial (in this case meaning "term")... so it says "many terms“

Polynomials

• A polynomial looks like this:

Page 4: Polynomials. Polynomial comes from poly- (meaning "many") and -nomial (in this case meaning "term")... so it says "many terms“

Term

A number, a variable, or the product/quotient of

numbers/variables.

Page 5: Polynomials. Polynomial comes from poly- (meaning "many") and -nomial (in this case meaning "term")... so it says "many terms“

A term has 3 components:

Coefficient: can by any real

number… including zero.

Variable:

Usually denoted as x

Exponent:Can only be 0,1,2, 3, …

Page 6: Polynomials. Polynomial comes from poly- (meaning "many") and -nomial (in this case meaning "term")... so it says "many terms“

A polynomial can have:

constants (like 3, -20, or ½)

variables (like x and y)

exponents (like the 2 in y2), but only 0, 1, 2, 3, ... etc are allowed

Page 7: Polynomials. Polynomial comes from poly- (meaning "many") and -nomial (in this case meaning "term")... so it says "many terms“

Remember

Page 8: Polynomials. Polynomial comes from poly- (meaning "many") and -nomial (in this case meaning "term")... so it says "many terms“

These are more examples of polynomials

3x x - 2 -6y2 - (7/9)x

3xyz + 3xy2z - 0.1xz - 200y + 0.5 512v5+ 99w5 5 (which is really 5x0)

Page 9: Polynomials. Polynomial comes from poly- (meaning "many") and -nomial (in this case meaning "term")... so it says "many terms“

• A polynomial can have: Terms that can be combined by adding, subtracting or multiplying.

• A Polynomial can NOT have a division by a variable in it.

Page 10: Polynomials. Polynomial comes from poly- (meaning "many") and -nomial (in this case meaning "term")... so it says "many terms“

These are not allowed as a term in a polynomial

• is not, because dividing by a variable is not allowed

• is not either• 3xy-2 is not, because : • is not, because the exponent is "½"

Page 11: Polynomials. Polynomial comes from poly- (meaning "many") and -nomial (in this case meaning "term")... so it says "many terms“

These are allowed as a term in a polynomial

• is allowed, because you can divide by a constant

• also for the same reason• is allowed, because it is a constant (=

1.4142...etc)

Monomial, binomial, and trinomial

Page 13: Polynomials. Polynomial comes from poly- (meaning "many") and -nomial (in this case meaning "term")... so it says "many terms“

• There is also quadrinomial (4 terms) and quintinomial (5 terms), but those names are not often used.

• Can Have Lots and Lots of Terms• Polynomials can have as many terms as

needed, but not an infinite number of terms.

Standard Form

• The Standard Form for writing a polynomial is to put the terms with the highest degree first.

• Example: Put this in Standard Form: 3x2 - 7 + 4x3 + x6

• The highest degree is 6, so that goes first, then 3, 2 and then the constant last:

• x6 + 4x3 + 3x2 - 7

sum/difference of terms which contain only 1

variable. The variable cannot be in the

denominator of a term.

Standard Form of a Polynomial

A polynomial written so that the degree of the

terms decreases from left to right and no terms have

the same degree.

Naming Polynomials

Polynomials are named or classified by their

degree and the number of terms they

have.

Adding and Subtracting Polynomials

To add or subtract polynomials, simply

combine like terms.

(5x2 - 3x + 7) + (2x2 + 5x - 7)

= 7x2 + 2x

(3x3 + 6x - 8) + (4x2 + 2x - 5)

= 3x3 + 4x2 + 8x - 13

(2x3 + 4x2 - 6) – (3x3 + 2x - 2)

(7x3 - 3x + 1) – (x3 - 4x2 - 2)

(2x3 + 4x2 - 6) + (-3x3 + -2x - -2)

= -x3 + 4x2 - 2x - 4

(7x3 - 3x + 1) + (-x3 - -4x2 - -2)

= 6x3 + 4x2 - 3x + 3

Polynomials: Algebra Tiles

Algebra tiles are tools that help one represent a polynomial.

Polynomials: Multiplying by a Monomial w/tiles

When you multiply, you are really finding the areas of rectangles. The length and width are the factors and the product is the area.

For example multiply 2x (3x + 1)

3x+1

2x

6x2 + 2x

Multiplying a Polynomial by another Polynomial requires more than one distributing step.

Multiply: (2a + 7b)(3a + 5b)

Distribute 2a(3a + 5b) and distribute 7b(3a + 5b):

6a2 + 10ab 21ab + 35b2

Then add those products, adding like terms:

6a2 + 10ab + 21ab + 35b2 = 6a2 + 31ab + 35b2

Page 38: Polynomials. Polynomial comes from poly- (meaning "many") and -nomial (in this case meaning "term")... so it says "many terms“

Polynomials * Polynomials Polynomials * Polynomials

An alternative is to stack the polynomials and do long multiplication.

(2a + 7b)(3a + 5b)

6a2 + 10ab

21ab + 35b2

(2a + 7b)

x (3a + 5b)

Multiply by 5b, then by 3a:(2a + 7b)

x (3a + 5b)

When multiplying by 3a, line up the first term under 3a.

Add like terms: 6a2 + 31ab + 35b2

Types of PolynomialsTypes of Polynomials

• We have names to classify polynomials based on how many terms they have:

Monomial: a polynomial with one term

Binomial: a polynomial with two terms

Trinomial: a polynomial with three terms

Page 43: Polynomials. Polynomial comes from poly- (meaning "many") and -nomial (in this case meaning "term")... so it says "many terms“

F : Multiply the First term in each binomial. 2x • 4x = 8x2

There is an acronym to help us remember how to multiply two binomials without stacking them.

F.O.I.L.F.O.I.L.

(2x + -3)(4x + 5)

(2x + -3)(4x + 5) = 8x2 + 10x + -12x + -15 = 8x2 + -2x + -15

O : Multiply the Outer terms in the binomials. 2x • 5 = 10x

I : Multiply the Inner terms in the binomials. -3 • 4x = -12x

L : Multiply the Last term in each binomial. -3 • 5 = -15

Page 44: Polynomials. Polynomial comes from poly- (meaning "many") and -nomial (in this case meaning "term")... so it says "many terms“

Use the FOIL method to multiply these binomials:

2) (x + 4)(x - 5)

5) (2w + 3)(2w - 3)

Use the FOIL method to multiply these binomials:

F.O.I.L.F.O.I.L.

1) (3a + 4)(2a + 1) = 6a2 + 3a + 8a + 4 = 6a2 + 11a + 4

2) (x + 4)(x - 5) = x2 + -5x + 4x + -20 = x2 + -1x + -20

3) (x + 5)(x - 5) = x2 + -5x + 5x + -25 = x2 + -25

4) (c - 3)(2c - 5) = 2c2 + -5c + -6c + 15 = 2c2 + -11c + 15

5) (2w + 3)(2w - 3) = 4w2 + -6w + 6w + -9 = 4w2 + -9
