Lesson 273 of 1524
6.1 Add and Subtract Polynomials
Monomials, binomials, and trinomials are all different types of polynomials.
Practice this chapterMonomials, binomials, and trinomials are all different types of polynomials. A polynomial is a monomial or two or more monomials combined by addition or subtraction
You also found the degree of different polynomials
polynomial — a monomial or two or more monomials combined by addition or subtraction. trinomial — an algebraic expression with exactly three terms: 5 x 2 + 6 y 3 - 7 c. binomial — an algebraic expression with exactly two terms: 5 x 2 + 6 y 3. monomial — an algebraic expression with exactly one term: 5 x 2.
Be able to determine the degree of polynomials; evaluate a polynomial function for a given value.
Worked example
What does “polynomial” mean in 6.1 Add and Subtract Polynomials?
- 1Use the wording this chapter gives for polynomial.
- 2The book says: a monomial or two or more monomials combined by addition or subtraction.
- 3Do not use the meaning of trinomial. That term means an algebraic expression with exactly three terms: 5 x 2 + 6 y 3 - 7 c.
Result: a monomial or two or more monomials combined by addition or subtraction
Why. That is the meaning this chapter gives for polynomial.
Do not swap polynomial and trinomial. polynomial means a monomial or two or more monomials combined by addition or subtraction. trinomial means an algebraic expression with exactly three terms: 5 x 2 + 6 y 3 - 7 c.
