Study Notes

Polynomial Classifications

  • Polynomials can be classified as constant, linear, quadratic, or cubic based on their degree.
  • Cubic polynomials have a degree of 3, quadratic have a degree of 2, linear have a degree of 1, and constant have a degree of 0.

Polynomial Types

  • Polynomials can be categorized as monomials, binomials, or trinomials after combining like terms.
  • A monomial has one term, a binomial has two terms, and a trinomial has three terms.

Standard Form Identification

  • Certain polynomials are in standard form, which typically means they are ordered by decreasing degree.
  • Examples of polynomials in standard form include those labeled A, D, E, as well as B, D, and F in a separate set.

Polynomial Degrees

  • The degree of a polynomial refers to the highest power of its variable.
  • Degrees for specific polynomials mentioned are:
    • Polynomial 1 has a degree of 4
    • Polynomial 2 has a degree of 7
    • Polynomial 3 has a degree of 5
    • Polynomial 4 has a degree of 4
    • Polynomial 5 has a degree of 2
    • Polynomial 6 has a degree of 7

Example Polynomial Analysis

  • Given the polynomial ( 6x + 5x^4 - 10x + 8x^3 - 7x^2 + 92 ):
    • After consolidation, features include:
      • Constant term is 81
      • The coefficient of (x^4) is 5
      • The coefficient for (x) is -4

Further Polynomial Classification

  • After simplifying polynomials, classify them based on the number of terms.
  • The potential classifications include:
    • Monomial
    • Cubic trinomial (includes terms of degree 3 and lower)
    • Constant monomial (single constant term)
    • Additional cubic trinomials and binomials depending on their structure.
