Degree of a Polynomial The degree of a term is the sum of the exponents of its variables A monomial in one variable is a term of the form a x m , where a is a constant and m is a whole number

Polynomials Polynomial —A monomial, or two or more algebraic terms combined by addition or subtraction is a polynomial Monomial —A polynomial with exactly one term is called a monomial

polynomial — A monomial or two or more monomials combined by addition or subtraction is a polynomial. polynomial function — A polynomial function is a function whose range values are defined by a polynomial. monomial — A monomial is an algebraic expression with one term. A monomial in one variable is a term of the form a x m , where a is a constant and m is a whole number. monomial in one variable — a term of the form a x m , where a is a constant and m is a whole number.

Be able to factor Theorem: For any polynomial function f ( x ) , if x - c is a factor of f ( x ) , then f ( c ) = 0.
