    Match each key term to its corresponding definition.

     

     

    a. polynomial

    b. term

    c. coefficient

    d. degree

    e. monomial

    f. binomial

    g. trinomial

    h. standard form

     

     

     

    1. A polynomial written with the terms in descending order, starting

    with the term with the greatest degree and ending with the term with

    the least degree.

     

    2. In a polynomial in one variable, it is the exponent of that variable

    with the largest numerical value.

     

    3. An expression that consists of a single term that is either a constant,

    a variable, or a product of a constant and one or more variables. It is

    a polynomial with one term.

     

     

    4. A polynomial with exactly two terms.

     

    5. The number multiplying one or more variables in a term.

     

    6. The parts of a polynomial that are added. They may be a number, a

    variable, or a product of a number and a variable (or variables).

     

    7. An expression of the form alt , where the

    coefficients ( alt , . . .) are real numbers or complex numbers

    and the exponents are non-negative integers.

     

     

    8. A polynomial that consists of three terms.

     

     

     





    Name the terms and coefficients of each polynomial

    Vocabulary





    Write the term from the box that best completes each statement.

     

    Add combining like terms subtract distributive property

     

     

    1. To find the sum of two polynomials, you must____________ each group of like terms.

     

    2. You can add or subtract polynomials by______________________ . For example, to find the

    sum of alt and alt , you would add ( alt ) + ( alt ) + 6.

     

    3. If you are subtracting one function from another function, you must____________

    each term of the second function from the first function.

     

    4. To combine like terms, you can use the___________________ . For example, 5 y + 3 y =

    y (5 + 3) = y (8) = 8 y .
