Polynomial Warmup

• x

• -4x

• 13x

Like terms have the same _____ and the same _____.

• variables and numbers
• signs and numbers
• variables and exponents
• variables and signs

Example: 4xy

x and y are variables, 4 is a coefficient.

Which below would define A coefficient best?

• the variable
• a constant
• an exponent
• the number that comes before the variable

(3x + 4y - 2m +3 - 11w)

A constant is just a number without a variable.

Which one above is the constant?

• 3x

• -2m

• 4y

• 3

• -11w

Combining Like Terms

Select the correct answer below

• 11x + 4y + 7

• 256xy + 44

• 64x + 17y + 107

Remember the Distributive Property??

• 38x - 101

• 6x + 14

• xy + 25

Finish the problem

• 16x + 10y - 106

• 6x + 10y - 8

• 16xy - 8
