Monomial
•Number, a variable, or the product of a number and one or variables with whole number exponents.
•The degree of a monomial is the sum of the exponents of the variables in the monomial. The degree of a nonzero constant term is 0. The constant 0 does not have a degree.

Not a Monomial Not a Monomial Reason
5 + x A sum is not a monomial
2/n Cannot have a variable in denominator
4^a Cannot have a variable exponent

Polynomial
•A monomial or a sum of monomials, each called a term of the polynomial.
•The degree of a polynomial is the greatest degree of its terms.

Leading Coefficient
•When a polynomial is written so that the exponents of a variable decrease from left to right, the coefficient of the term is called a leading coefficient
•2x^3 + x^2 -5x +12
Leading coefficient

Re-writing a Polynomial
•Write 15x-x^3 + 3 so that the exponents decrease from left to right.
•Label your leading coefficient, degree and constant.

Classifying Polynomials
•A polynomial with two terms is called a binomial.
•A polynomial with three terms is called a trinomial.

Examples
•Is this a polynomial?
•What degree?
Let’s look at 6n^4 -8^n

Adding Polynomials
•(2x^3 – 5x^2 + x) + (2x^2 + x^3 - 1)
•Solution:
Vertical Format: If a particular power of a the variable appears in one polynomial but not the other, leave a space in that column, or write the term with a coefficient of 0

Degree and Leading Coefficient
•Write 5y-2y^2 +9 so that the exponents decrease from left to right. Identify the degree and leading coefficient of the polynomial.
