Below are some arithmetic statements with missing terms. Find the
missing term to complete it.

The following are important terms to remember

x to the fourth power or x to the fourth
What are the exponents of each term?

 a constant 2 ,3, 4, 5….
 a variable a, b, c, ….x, y, z
 Constant and
variables

Exponent Tells how many times the base is used
as a factor

There are special kinds of algebraic expression called Polynomials.
A Polynomial is an algebraic expression where each term is a constant, a
variable or a product of a constant and variable.
BIG CONCEPT
12
Remember:
An algebraic expression is NOT a polynomial if
1. the exponent of the variable is NOT a whole
number {0, 1, 2, 3..}.
2. the variable is inside the radical sign.
3. the variable is in the denominator
Now, let us classify Algebraic Expression according
to the number of terms

*Each term in Binomial and Trinomial are separated by
+ or - (operation)

Algebraic expressions composed of two or more terms are called
multinomials.
DEGREE OF POLYNOMIAL
The degree of Polynomial in
a single variable is the
highest exponent among
the terms.
Leading term

Leading coefficient
( numerical coefficient)

Just because we do not see any “X” or “Y” does not mean that algebra has failed to prove its existence; still,
the real-life examples of algebra are uncountable. This precise and concise mathematical language entwines in
a beautiful way with almost all other subjects and even daily life.
GENERALIZATION

The following diagram gives an example to illustrate the following
algebra vocabulary that you will need to know:
constants, variables, coefficients, terms, expressions, and equations.

Algebraic Expressions
An algebraic expression is one or more algebraic terms in a
phrase. It can include variables, constants, and operating
symbols, such as plus and minus signs. It's only a phrase, not
the whole sentence, so it doesn't include an equal sign.
Algebraic expression:
3x2
+ 2y + 7xy + 5

Ex. Algebraic expression:
 3x2
+ 2y +5x³+8 22
y if x=2 and
y=5
 5x³+3x2
+2y+8 x2
y=20

Editor's Notes

  • #4 This is what you solve in your elementary mathematics. Shapes like rectangle. circle., square or line represent missing number.
  • #5 Algebra has its own language of symbols. Like any other language, first, you have to learn the basic vocabulary and correct ways to structure sentences, or, in this case, equations, before it will all start making sense.
  • #15 For polynomials with more than one variable, the degree of polynomials is the highest sum of the exponents of the variables among the terms.
  • #17 Always refer to the variables in terms of degree.
