FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is a polynomial?
Back
A polynomial is a mathematical expression consisting of variables (also called indeterminates) raised to non-negative integer powers and coefficients. For example, 2x^2 + 3x - 5 is a polynomial.
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What are like terms?
Back
Like terms are terms in a polynomial that have the same variable raised to the same power. For example, in the expression 3x + 5x - 2, the terms 3x and 5x are like terms.
3.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you add polynomials?
Back
To add polynomials, combine like terms by adding their coefficients. For example, (2x^2 + 3x) + (4x^2 + 5x) = (2x^2 + 4x^2) + (3x + 5x) = 6x^2 + 8x.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the degree of a polynomial?
Back
The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the variable in the expression. For example, in the polynomial 4x^3 + 2x^2 - x, the degree is 3.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you subtract polynomials?
Back
To subtract polynomials, distribute the negative sign to the second polynomial and then combine like terms. For example, (3x^2 + 4x) - (2x^2 + 5x) = (3x^2 - 2x^2) + (4x - 5x) = x^2 - x.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the product of two binomials?
Back
The product of two binomials can be found using the distributive property or the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last). For example, (x + 2)(x + 3) = x^2 + 3x + 2x + 6 = x^2 + 5x + 6.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the difference between a monomial and a polynomial?
Back
A monomial is a polynomial with only one term, while a polynomial can have multiple terms. For example, 3x is a monomial, while 3x + 2 is a polynomial.
