​INTRODUCTION TO POLYNOMIALS

Identify and differentiate the types of polynomials.

​POLYNOMIAL

​The definition of a polynomial as algebraic expressions containing exponents that are non-negative integers means that zero can be an exponent of a variable. Any constant is considered a polynomial.

$$10x^{-1}+6x^2$$  

• Polynomial

• Not a Polynomial

Multiple Choice

• Polynomial

• Not a Polynomial

Multiple Choice

Is the given POLYNOMIAL or NOT?

     $$y^{\frac{1}{2}}+3y-8$$  

• Polynomial

• Not a Polynomial

​NOT POLYNOMIAL

1. A variable has a negative exponent.

2. A variable cannot be inside a radi​cal sign.

3. ​A variable cannot be a denominator.

4. ​A variable cannot be an exponent.

5. ​The exponent is a fraction or decimals.

​Classification of Polynomials

​Polynomials are classified according to the number of terms.

3n+2d-6​, 5x²-x-25​

​​TRINOMIAL

​CLASSIFICATION OF POLYNOMIALS

​

​

​

​Standard Form

The standard form of a polynomial is expressed by writing the highest degree of terms first then the next degree and so on.

Multiple Choice

Which polynomial is written in standard form?

• -11 - 3x + 8x² + 9x³

• 8x² + 9x³ -11 - 3x

• 9x³ + 8x² - 3x - 11

• 12 - 10x - 3x³ - x²

Multiple Choice

Put in Standard Form. 12 - 3x³ - 10x - x²

•  - 3x³ - x² - 10x + 12

•  3x³ - x² + 10x + 12

• 12 - 3x³ - 10x - x² It is in Standard Form.

• 12 - 10x - 3x³ - x²

​Degree of a Polynomial

The degree of a polynomial ​is equal to the largest exponent of any term of the polynomial.

​

Note: You have to ensure that the expression is in standard form.​
