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.
