A polynomial is a mathematical expression consisting of terms which may include numbers and variables, where terms are products of numbers and variables. There are different types of polynomials defined by the number of terms they contain, including monomials (one term), binomials (two terms), and trinomials (three terms). The degree of a polynomial is the highest exponent on any variable in the expression.

1. POLYNOMIAL

2. A polynomial is a finite sum of one or more terms. Examples of polynomials are:

3. Term -is a number, variable or the product of a number and variable. Examples of terms are: 5y 8 c

4. -is a term that contains only a number . 8 -5 100 Constant Term

5. Coefficient -is the numeric factor of your term.

8. Degree of Polynomials -is the highest degree of any of its terms. Examples: has degree 7 has degree 6

9. Standard Form of a Polynomial is a constant. where n is a non-negative integer. is called the leading coefficient.

10. Find the degree of the polynomial and indicate whether the polynomial is a monomial, binomial, trinomial, or none of these: 9x 4 1. 2. 3. 4. 6x + y - 9 7 5 5. 7r + st - 9 8 8
