Front

What is a monomial?

Back

A monomial is a polynomial with only one term, such as 3x or 5a^2.

Front

What is a binomial?

Back

A binomial is a polynomial with two terms, such as 2x + 3 or a^2 - b.

Front

What is a trinomial?

Back

A trinomial is a polynomial with three terms, such as x^2 + 2x + 1.

Front

What is a polynomial?

Back

A polynomial is an expression made up of one or more terms, which can include constants, variables, and exponents.

Front

How do you subtract polynomials?

Back

To subtract polynomials, distribute the negative sign and combine like terms.

Front

What is the degree of a polynomial?

Back

The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the variable in the expression.

Front

What are like terms?

Back

Like terms are terms that have the same variable raised to the same power, such as 3x and 5x.

Front

What is the result of (2a^2 + 5a + 3) - (a^2 - 3a - 4)?

Back

The result is a^2 + 8a + 7.

Front

What is the sum of (3 - 2x + 2x^2) + (4x - 5 + 3x^2)?

Back

The sum is 5x^2 + 2x - 2.

How do you classify polynomials by the number of terms?

Back

Polynomials can be classified as monomial (1 term), binomial (2 terms), trinomial (3 terms), or polynomial (4 or more terms).
