5.1.notebook January 28, 2025 Unit 5: Polynomials 5.1 Modelling Polynomials ­ here we are going to look at different things with respect to polynomials ­ a polynomial is one term or the sum of terms whose variables have whole­number exponents 1 5.1.notebook January 28, 2025 ­ Polynomials do not have a square root for the variable, the variable in the denominator, or a fraction or decimal in the power of the variable. 2 5.1.notebook January 28, 2025 terms ­ a number, a variable, or the product of numbers and variables. 3 5.1.notebook January 28, 2025 constant ­ is the term without a variable 4 5.1.notebook January 28, 2025 numerical coefficient ­ this is the number with the variable 5 5.1.notebook January 28, 2025 degree ­ this is the highest power of the variable in a polynomial 6 5.1.notebook January 28, 2025 7 5.1.notebook January 28, 2025 equivalent polynomials ­ this is when polynomials are in either a) the terms are in a different order b) they represent the same values 8 5.1.notebook January 28, 2025 Modelling with tiles ­ here are the tiles we will use to model polynomials 9 5.1.notebook January 28, 2025 ex: Model the polynomials below using tiles a) X2 ­ 5x + 3 b) 4x ­2 c) ­3x2 10 5.1.notebook January 28, 2025 ex: Name the polynomial represented by the tiles 11 5.1.notebook January 28, 2025 ex: write two sets of tiles that represents the following ­2x2 + 3 we got to use zero pairs for another set 12
