Study Notes
Polynomials
- The highest exponent/power of the variable in a polynomial is called the degree of the polynomial.
- Polynomials can have an infinite number of terms.
- In an algebraic expression, terms with the same variables and exponents are called like terms.
- The product of two or more polynomials has a degree equal to the sum of the degrees of the individual polynomials.
- To find the product of polynomials, apply the law of exponents (multiply powers with the same base and add the exponents).
- A factor divides a number or expression completely with no remainder.
- Numbers/expressions can be factored into different combinations.
- Factorization is the process of finding the factors of an algebraic expression; it's the reverse of expansion.
