Monomial: a real number, a variable, or a product of both. Ex: 4, 4x, 18, -4x2, c, 8.1 + AND - POLYNOMIALS: Degree of monomial: The sum of the exponents of its variables. Ex: 4 Degree 0 4x Degree 1 -4x2 Degree of 2 6x3y2 Degree of 5
Polynomial: a monomial or a sum of monomials. Ex: 4 + C, 4x - 18, -4x2 + c - Standard Form of a Polynomial: Polynomials written in descending order according to their degree Ex: 1) -4x2 + 5x - 4 2) 5x3 + 11x + 6 3) 6y5 + 7y3 - 3y+ 8
Degree of Polynomial in one variable: The same as the degree of the monomial with the highest degree. Ex: 1) -4x2 + 5x - 4 Degree 2 2) 5x3 + 11x + 6 Degree 3 3) 6y5+ 7y3 - 3y+ 8 Degree 5
To classify a polynomial we look at the degree and the number of terms (monomials) it contains: CLASSIFY: 0 Monomial Constant 6 1 1 5x + 9 Binomial Linear 2 4x2+7x+ 6 2 Trinomial Quadratic 3 7x3 3 Monomial Cubic 1 3x4-4x-2 4 Trinomial Fourth Degree 3
CLASSIFY: To classify a polynomial we must simplify. SIMPLIFYING POLYNOMIALS: To classify a polynomial we must simplify by adding and/or subtracting like terms: Ex: Classify the following polynomials: 1) 3x2 + 5x2 - 3 2) 2x4- 5x2 + 3x2 – 7x + x 3) 4x – 1 + 5x3+ 7x – x3
SIMPLIFYING POLYNOMIALS: To classify a polynomial we must simplify by adding and/or subtracting like terms: 8x2 - 3 1) 3x2 + 5x2- 3 Quadratic Binomial 2) 2x4- 5x2 + 3x2– 7x + x 2x4– 2x2 – 6x Fourth Degree Trinomial 3) 4x – 1 + 5x3+ 7x – x3 4x3+ 11x – 1 Cubic Trinomial Notice: Must put in standard form before classifying!
REAL-WORLD (ADDITION): We can add/subtract polynomials by adding like terms: Ex: A researcher studied the number of overnight stays in the US National Park Service campgrounds and in the backcountry of the national park system over a 5-yr period. He model his results as following: Campground = – 7.1x2– 180x + 5800 Backgcountry = 21x2 – 140x + 1900 What is the total number of stays?
Solution: We can add/subtract polynomials by adding like terms: Campground – 7.1x2– 180x + 5800 Backgcountry 21x2 – 140x + 1900 13.9x2 – 320x + 7700 Total stays: 13.9x2 – 320x + 7700
SUBTRACTION: We must not forget to distribute then add/subtract: (x3 – 3x2+5x) – (7x3+5x2 – 12) x3– 3x2 + 5x – 7x3–5x2+ 12 – 6x3– 8x2 +5x + 12 Classify: Cubic 4th term polynomial
