Classify and Simplify Polynomials

What is a Polynomial?

A polynomial is an expression involving a sum of powers in one or more variables multiplied by coefficients, where the powers must be whole.

What it IS and what it is NOT:

Adding Polynomials

1. Place like terms together
2. Add the like terms

Example: Adding Polynomials

Multiple Choice

Add the polynomials (x-2) and (x²+3)

• x²+x+1
• x³+5
• x³+1
• x³-1

Multiple Choice

Add these polynomials:

• 9x -7

• -9x-11

• 9x+7

• x+7

Multiple Choice

(2x + 5y - z) + (-6x - 4y + 7z)

• -4x +6y + 6z

• 4x + y + 6z

• -4x - y + 6z

• -4x + y + 6z

Subtracting Polynomials

To subtract Polynomials, first reverse the sign of each term we are subtracting (in other words turn "+" into "-", and "-" into "+"), then add as usual.

OR

Use distributive property with negative one on the second polynomial, then combine like terms.

Subtracting Polynomials Example

Multiple Choice

Subtract these polynomials:

(4x²+ x) - (x²+ 2x)

Factoring with GCF (Greatest Common Factor)

Factor out the greatest number and the smallest variable that each have in common.

Finding the GCF

• Find the largest number that divides evenly into all of the terms coefficients

• If all of the terms share the same variable(s) use those with the smallest exponent
