Adding and Subtracting Polynomials

Front

What are like terms?

Back

Like terms are terms that have the same variable raised to the same power. For example, -3x and 3x are like terms.

Front

Is 5x + 8 a monomial?

Back

No, it is a binomial because it has two terms.

Front

Simplify: (3x + 4) + (5x - 2)

Back

8x + 2

Front

What is the degree of the polynomial 4x^3 + 2x^2 - x?

Back

The degree is 3, which is the highest exponent.

Front

Combine like terms: 2x^2 + 3x - 4 + 5x^2 - 2x

Back

7x^2 + x - 4

Front

What is a polynomial?

Back

A polynomial is an expression made up of variables, coefficients, and non-negative integer exponents.

Front

What is the leading coefficient of the polynomial 6x^4 - 3x^3 + 2?

Back

The leading coefficient is 6.

Front

Simplify: (2a^2 + 3a) - (4a^2 - a)

Back

-2a^2 + 4a

Front

What is the result of adding the polynomials (x^2 + 2x) and (3x^2 - x)?

Back

4x^2 + x

Front

Identify the like terms in the expression: 5y^2 + 3y - 2y^2 + 4y.

Back

5y^2 and -2y^2 are like terms; 3y and 4y are like terms.
