Polynomials 5/5 A real number, a variable, or a product and a real number and variable with whole number exponents monomial An expression without addition, subtraction---can’t divide by a variable Examples monomial Not a monomial 5 xy/2 -112a 3m³n² 7 - a xy/z 34 + b 4k-³
You try Is the expression a monomial? • 5 + c • 7z/3 • 6ab² • 4g/h • -0.3y • 7 No Yes Yes No Yes Yes
polynomial A monomial or the sum or difference of monomial(s) term The monomials that make up a polynomial
You try Name the polynomial • 5c – 2 + a • 56 – x • 21 • 3x² + 2x • 7p² • ab – a + b Trinomial Binomial Monomial Binomial Monomial trinomial
Evaluating polynomials Plug and Chug Evaluate the 3x for x = 5 3x Plug in the values 3(5) Chug out the answer following PEMDASLR 15 Evaluate gh³ + 4g - ½h for g = 10, h = 4 gh³ + 4g - ½h Plug in the values (10)(4)³ + 4(10) - ½(4) Chug out the answer following PEMDASLR (10)(64) + 4(10) - ½(4) 640 + 40 - 2 680 - 2 672
You try Evaluate the expression for a = 2, b = -4 • 10a + b² - 7 • -4ab • a² - 2b - 3 • a - 3b • ab² + 5 • 2a
Adding and Subtracting Polynomials 5/6 Like terms have the same variable and exponent or no variable at all Like terms Vertical Method Find like terms (4b² + 2b + 1) + (7b² + b – 3) Add like terms 11b² + b - 2
Vertical Method (2y² - 9y – 15) + (6y² + 8y – 11) Line up like terms 2y² - 9y – 15 + 6y² + 8y – 11 Combine like terms 2y² - 9y – 15 + 6y² + 8y – 11 8y² - 1y - 26
You Try Simplify each sum using any method • (x² + 3x + 1) + (x² + x + 6) • (5x² + 3x + 7) + (7x – 2) • x4 + 3x³ - x² + x – 2 + 7x³ + x² - 5x – 9 • xy + 5x – 2y + 4 +2xy – 3x – 3y - 8
Subtraction Change subtraction to addition Change the sign of the 2nd number Remember the distributive property A negative outside parenthesis belongs to everything inside the parenthesis
Vertical Method (-4x² + x – 1) – (x² - x + 8) Change, Change, Go (-4x² + x – 1) – (x² - x + 8) Distribute the negative sign (-4x² + x – 1) + (-x² + x - 8) Find like terms (-4x² + x – 1) + (-x² + x - 8) Combine like terms -5x² + 2x - 9
Vertical Method x² - 3x – 9 -- 5x - 4 Change, Change, Go x² - 3x – 9 + -5x + 4 Distribute the negative sign x² - 3x – 9 + -5x + 4 Combine like terms x² - 8x - 5
Find the difference • (ab – 4) – (3ab – 6) • (2x² + 3x – 7) – (x² - 6x – 9) • 3x² + x + 7 - 2x² + x + 2 • 6y – 8 - 2y + 7
