7.7 Adding and Subtracting Polynomials Algebra 10
Main Idea • Just like the title says, we will be adding and subtracting polynomials – be careful of negatives! • Remember how we lined up systems to add? • Remember how important is was to make sure the same terms were aligned? • LIKE TERMS: same variable, same power
Ex 1 – Adding & Subtracting Monomials • To add or subtract, simply combine like terms.
Ex 2 Adding Polynomials • You can add them horizontally or vertically
Ex 2 Adding Polynomials • You can add them horizontally or vertically
Ex 3 – Subtracting Polynomials • To subtract a group, distribute the subtraction sign.
Ex 3 – Subtracting Polynomials • To subtract a group, distribute the subtraction sign.
Review • How do you identify like terms? • When using a vertical format, what is a placeholder? How is it helpful? • What is the first step to subtracting polynomials? • Why are parentheses use when subtracting? • What is the purpose of aligning terms?
