  1. Essential Questions • How do we identify, evaluate, add, and subtract polynomials? • How do we classify and graph polynomials?

  2. a7 8 1 1 5y2 2 2 A monomial is a number or a product of numbers and variables with whole number exponents. A polynomial is a monomial or a sum or difference of monomials. Each monomial in a polynomial is a term. Because a monomial has only one term, it is the simplest type of polynomial. Polynomials have no variables in denominators or exponents, no roots or absolute values of variables, and all variables have whole number exponents. Polynomials: 3x4 2z12 + 9z3 0.15x101 3t2 – t3 Not polynomials: 3x |2b3 – 6b| m0.75 – m The degree of a monomial is the sum of the exponents of the variables.

  3. Example 1: Identifying the Degree of a Monomial Identify the degree of each monomial. A. z6 B. 5.6 z6 Identify the exponent. 5.6 = 5.6x0 Identify the exponent. The degree is 6. The degree is 0. C. 8xy3 D. a2bc3 8x1y3 Add the exponents. a2b1c3 Add the exponents. The degree is 4. The degree is 6.

  4. Example 2: Identifying the Degree of a Monomial Identify the degree of each monomial. a. x3 b. 7 x3 Identify the exponent. 7 = 7x0 Identify the exponent. The degree is 3. The degree is 0. c. 5x3y2 d. a6bc2 5x3y2 Add the exponents. a6b1c2 Add the exponents. The degree is 5. The degree is 9.

  5. A degree of a polynomial is given by the term with the greatest degree. A polynomial with one variable is in standard form when its terms are written in descending order by degree. So, in standard form, the degree of the first term indicates the degree of the polynomial, and the leading coefficient is the coefficient of the first term.

  6. A polynomial can be classified by its number of terms. A polynomial with two terms is called a binomial, and a polynomial with three terms is called a trinomial. A polynomial can also be classified by its degree.

  7. Example 3: Classifying Polynomials Rewrite each polynomial in standard form. Then identify the leading coefficient, degree, and number of terms. Name the polynomial. a. 3 – 5x2 + 4x b. 3x2 – 4 + 8x4 Write terms in descending order by degree. Write terms in descending order by degree. -5 8 Leading coefficient: Leading coefficient: 2 4 Degree: Degree: 3 3 Terms: Terms: Name: Name: quadratic trinomial quartic trinomial

  8. Example 3: Classifying Polynomials Rewrite each polynomial in standard form. Then identify the leading coefficient, degree, and number of terms. Name the polynomial. c. 4x – 2x2 + 2 d. –18x2 + x3 – 5 + 2x Write terms in descending order by degree. Write terms in descending order by degree. -2 1 Leading coefficient: Leading coefficient: 2 3 Degree: Degree: 3 4 Terms: Terms: quadratic trinomial cubic polynomial with 4 terms Name: Name:

  9. To add or subtract polynomials, combine like terms. You can add or subtract horizontally or vertically.

  10. Example 4: Adding and Subtracting Polynomials Add or subtract. Write your answer in standard form. a. (2x3 + 9 – x) + (5x2 + 4 + 7x + x3) Add vertically. (2x3 + 9 – x) + (5x2 + 4 + 7x + x3) 2x3 – x+ 9 Write in standard form. +x3+ 5x2+ 7x+ 4 Align like terms. + 6x + 5x2 + 13 3x3 Add.

  11. Example 4: Adding and Subtracting Polynomials Add or subtract. Write your answer in standard form. b. (3 – 2x2) – (x2 + 6 –x) Add the opposite horizontally. - - + + (3 – 2x2) – ( x2 + 6 – x) Change the signs. Add like terms.

  12. Example 4: Adding and Subtracting Polynomials Add or subtract. Write your answer in standard form. c. (–36x2 + 6x – 11) + (6x2 + 16x3 – 5) Add vertically. (–36x2 + 6x – 11) + (6x2 + 16x3 – 5) –36x2 + 6x – 11 Write in standard form. +16x3+ 6x2 – 5 Align like terms. + 6x – 16 16x3 Add. – 30x2

  13. Example 4: Adding and Subtracting Polynomials Add or subtract. Write your answer in standard form. d. (5x3 +12 + 6x2) – (15x2 + 3x – 2) Add the opposite horizontally. - - + + (5x3 +12 + 6x2) – ( 15x2 + 3x – 2 ) Change the signs. Add like terms.

  14. Example 5: Work Application The cost of manufacturing a certain product can be approximated by f(x) = 3x3 – 18x + 45, where x is the number of units of the product in hundreds. Evaluate f(0) and f(200) and describe what the values represent. f(0) represents the initial cost before manufacturing any products. f(200) represents the cost of manufacturing 20,000 units of the products.

  15. Example 6: Work Application Cardiac output is the amount of blood pumped through the heart. The output is measured by a technique called dye dilution. For a patient, the dye dilution can be modeled by the function f(t) = 0.000468t4 – 0.016t3 + 0.095t2 + 0.806t, where t represents time (in seconds) after injection and f(t) represents the concentration of dye (in milligrams per liter). Evaluate f(t) for t = 4 and t = 17, and describe what the values of the function represent. f(4) represents the concentration of dye after 4 seconds. f(17) represents the concentration of dye after 17 seconds.
