  1. Math 50 3.2 – Introduction to Polynomials; Combining Like Terms

  2. An expression that is a constant or a product of a constant and variables that are raised to whole number powers is called a _________________. ex:

  3. An expression that is a constant or a product of a constant and variables that are raised to whole number powers is called a _________________. ex: monomial

  4. Why isn’t a monomial? Why isn’t a monomial?

  5. Why isn’t a monomial? Why isn’t a monomial? Variables divided, not multiplied

  6. Why isn’t a monomial? Why isn’t a monomial? Variables divided, not multiplied Has addition/subtraction

  7. The numerical factor in a monomial is called the _____________________. The sum of the exponents of all variables in a monomial is called the ______________ of the monomial.

  8. The numerical factor in a monomial is called the _____________________. The sum of the exponents of all variables in a monomial is called the ______________ of the monomial. coefficient

  9. The numerical factor in a monomial is called the _____________________. The sum of the exponents of all variables in a monomial is called the ______________ of the monomial. coefficient degree

  10. The numerical factor in a monomial is called the _____________________. The sum of the exponents of all variables in a monomial is called the ______________ of the monomial. coefficient degree Basically, count how many variables are being multiplied

  14. A monomial or a sum of monomials is called a ___________________. ex:

  15. A monomial or a sum of monomials is called a ___________________. ex: polynomial

  16. Note: In polynomials, we usually call each monomial a _______. A polynomial with exactly one term is called a _____________. (ex: ) A polynomial with exactly two terms is called a _____________. (ex: ) A polynomial with exactly three terms is called a _____________. (ex: )

  17. Note: In polynomials, we usually call each monomial a _______. A polynomial with exactly one term is called a _____________. (ex: ) A polynomial with exactly two terms is called a _____________. (ex: ) A polynomial with exactly three terms is called a _____________. (ex: ) term
