Study Notes

Polynomials Overview

  • A binomial consists of two terms.
  • Like terms share the same variable(s) and exponents.
  • A monomial is defined as a single-term polynomial.
  • A polynomial can be one term or the sum of multiple terms with whole number exponents.
  • A term can be a number, a variable, or a product of numbers and variables.
  • A trinomial is a polynomial containing three terms.

Examples of Polynomials

  • a² + bcd³ is classified as a binomial.
  • a² + b - cd³ identifies as a trinomial.
  • a² - b + c - d³ represents a four-term polynomial.

Ordering Polynomials

  • To arrange -x⁴y² + 7x³y³ - 3xy⁵ + 2x²y⁴ in descending powers of x:
    • Order: -x⁴y², +7x³y³, +2x²y⁴, -3xy⁵.
  • To order terms p², p⁴, p³, and p in descending powers of p:
    • Order: p⁴, p³, p², p.

Polynomial Operations

  • Simplifying 7b + 3, -4b + 5, and -3b + 2 results in a total of 10.
  • Adding 3x² + 2x - 5 and -4 + 7x² gives:
    • Result: 10x² + 2x - 9.
  • Combining 2mn + 4n² and 5m² - 7mn yields:
    • Result: 5m² - 5mn + 4n².

Subtraction in Polynomials

  • The opposite of 9 - 12n² + 4n³ - 7n after ordering is:
    • Result: -4n³ + 12n² + 7n - 9.
  • Reducing -8 + b² by 5 + b² results in:
    • Answer: -13.
  • Finding x - y subtracted from 0 gives:
    • Answer: -x + y.

Complex Subtractions

  • The expression a - 2b + 3c diminished by a - 2b - 3c + d results in:
    • Answer: 6c - d.
  • For the operation of -4 + 3a² taken from 7a - a²:
    • Set up vertically yields: -4a² + 7a + 4.
  • Reducing 7y + 2y² - 7 by 3 - 4y leads to:
    • Result: 2y² + 11y - 10.
  • For 2p² + 3p - 4 less -2p² - 3p + 4:
    • Result: 4p² + 6p - 8.
