What is a polynomial?

Back

A polynomial is a mathematical expression that consists of variables, coefficients, and non-negative integer exponents, combined using addition, subtraction, and multiplication.

Front

Classify the polynomial: 3x^4 + 2x^3 - x + 5

Back

This is a quartic polynomial because the highest exponent is 4.

Front

What are like terms?

Back

Like terms are terms that have the same variables and exponents, such as 3x^2 and 5x^2.

Front

Find the product: (x + 2)(x + 3)

Back

The product is x^2 + 5x + 6.

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

Classify the polynomial: 2x^3 - 4x^2 + 3x - 1

Back

This is a cubic polynomial because the highest exponent is 3.

Front

Simplify the expression: (5x^2 + 3) - (2x^2 + 1)

Back

The simplified expression is 3x^2 + 2.

Front

What is a quadratic polynomial?

Back

A quadratic polynomial is a polynomial of degree 2, typically in the form ax^2 + bx + c.

Front

Find the product: (2x - 1)(3x + 4)

Back

The product is 6x^2 + 5x - 4.

Front

What is a trinomial?

Back

A trinomial is a polynomial with three terms, such as x^2 + 5x + 6.
