Polynomial Operations Review

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

The product is 6x² + 16x + 8.

There are 4 terms in the polynomial.

The product is n² - 6n + 5.

The result is x³ - x² - x + 1.

A polynomial is a mathematical expression that consists of variables, coefficients, and non-negative integer exponents. For example, 2x² + 3x - 5 is a polynomial.

The degree of the polynomial is 3, which is the highest exponent of the variable x.

Coefficients are the numerical factors in a polynomial. For example, in the polynomial 3x² + 2x - 5, the coefficients are 3, 2, and -5.

The sum is 6x² + 2x.

The difference is 3x² + 7.
