Study Notes

  • Topic 6 - Quiz

Simplifying Expressions

  • Combine like terms in the expression: (3x - 4x - 5x) + (2x² + 3x²)
  • Simplified expression: 5x² - 6x

Standard Form

  • The simplified expression in standard form is: 5x² - 6x

Degree of Expressions

  • Degree of each monomial:
    • D1 = 2
    • D2 = 1

Degree of Monomial

  • The degree of the monomial 8xyz is 14 (7 + 2 + 5)

Polynomial Names

  • The polynomial in simplified expression based on number of terms is a binomial

Sum of Expressions

  • Add (-2x² + 3x + 4) and (3x² + 4x + 6):
    • x² + 7x + 2

FOIL Method

  • Multiply the binomials (2x + 4) and (4x - 7) using the FOIL method to get 8x² + 2x - 28
