Polynomial and Rational Models Section 9.1
A monomial is an expression that is a real number, a variable or a product of real numbers and variables.13, 3x, -57, x², 4y², -2xy, or 520x²y² A binomial is the sum of two monomials. It has two unlike terms. 3x + 1, x² - 4x, 2x + y, or y - y² A trinomial is the sum of three monomials. It has three unlike terms. x2+ 2x + 1, 3x² - 4x + 10, 2x + 3y + 2 A polynomial is the sum of one or more terms. x2+ 2x, 3x3+ x² + 5x + 6, 4x - 6y + 8
The exponent of the variable in a term determines the degree of that term. • The terms in the polynomial are in descending order by degree. • This order demonstrates the standard form of a polynomial. 2 3 2x -5x -2x + 5 Leading Coefficient Cubic Term Quadratic Term Linear Term Constant Term
Example 1 Classifying Polynomials Write each in standard form and classify it by degree and number of terms. • -7x + 5x4 • x2 – 4x + 3x3 +2x • 4x – 6x + 5

Power and Quotient Rules Section 9.2
Properties of Exponentsa&b are real numbers, m&n are integers • Product Property: am * an=am+n • Power of a Power Property: (am)n=amn • Power of a Product Property: (ab)m=ambm • Negative Exponent Property: a-m= ; a≠0 • Zero Exponent Property: a0=1; a≠0 • Quotient of Powers: am= am-n;a≠0 an • Power of Quotient: b≠0
Example 1 – Product Property • (-5)4 * (-5)5 = • (-5)4+5 = • (-5)9 = • -1953125
Example 2 • x5 * x2 = • x5+2 = • x7
Example 3 – Power of a Power • (23)4 = • 23*4 = • 212 = • 4096
Example 4 • (34)2 = • 34*2 = • 38 = • 6561
Example 5 – Neg. Exponent • (-5)-6(-5)4 = • (-5)-6+4 = • (-5)-2 =
Example 8 – Zero Exponent • (7b-3)2 b5 b = • 72 b-3*2 b5 b = • 49 b-6+5+1 = • 49b0 = • 49
