Sullivan Algebra and Trigonometry: Section R.4 Polynomials Objectives of this Section Recognize Monomials Recognize Polynomials Add, Subtract, and Multiply Polynomials Know Formulas for Special Products

Slide2: 

A monomial in one variable is the product of a constant times a variable raised to a nonnegative integer power. Thus, a monomial is of the form: where a is a constant, x is a variable, and k > 0 is an integer.

Slide3: 

Examples of Monomials

Slide4: 

A polynomial in one variable is an algebraic expression of the form

Slide5: 

Example: Coefficients: 2, 0, -3, 1, -5 Degree: 4

Slide6: 

Polynomials are added and subtracted by combining like terms. Example: Addition

Slide7: 

Example: Subtraction

Slide8: 

Polynomial multiplication can be done by using the distributive property multiple times. Example: Multiplication

Slide9: 

Special Product Formulas Difference of Two Squares Squares of Binomials, or Perfect Squares

Slide10: 

Special Product Formulas Miscellaneous Trinomials Cubes of Binomials, or Perfect Cubes

Slide11: 

Special Product Formulas Difference of Two Cubes Sum of Two Cubes

Slide12: 

Polynomials in Two Variables The degree of a polynomial in two variables is the highest degree of all the monomials with nonzero coefficients. The degree of each monomial is the sum of the powers of the variables.
