Introduction to Polynomials

degree of polynomial

• an expression involving a sum of powers in one or more variables multipled by coefficients, where the powers must be whole numbers

• the highest exponents on my variable term powers

• terms consisting of the same variables raised to the same power

• a product of numbers, variables, or both; seperated by plus or minus signs in an alegbraic expression

• has a variable and non-variable terms seperated by addition and subtraction

2 term
