TRANSCRIPT
Recall;
A monomial is a single algebraic term
A binomial contains two unlike terms
A trinomial has 3 unlike terms
Two terms are like terms, if they have the same variables, raised to the same exponents. Order is not important.
eg. 1YES
YES
NO
The DEGREE of a monomial is the sum of all its powers.
eg. 2
2 6 Not Not 11
To be a monomial, the exponent must be a positive whole number. No fractions and no negatives.
The degree of a polynomial is the same as the degree ofits’ largest degree monomial.
eg. 3 Degree 4
Degree 7
Polynomials can be simplified by combining like terms.
When adding like monomials, simply add the coefficients and keep the exponents the same.
eg. 4
