Degrees & Standard Form Of Polynomials #2

What is a polynomial?

• A mathematical expression that consists of variables, coefficients, and non-negative integer exponents, combined using addition, subtraction, and multiplication.

• A type of equation that only includes variables and constants without any operations.

• A mathematical expression that can only include positive integers and no variables.

• A formula used to calculate the area of geometric shapes.

What is the standard form of a polynomial?

• The standard form of a polynomial is when the terms are arranged in ascending order of their degrees.

• The standard form of a polynomial is when the terms are arranged in descending order of their degrees.

• The standard form of a polynomial is when all coefficients are positive.

• The standard form of a polynomial is when the polynomial is factored completely.

How do you subtract polynomials?

• To subtract polynomials, change the sign of the second polynomial and then add.

• To subtract polynomials, simply add the two polynomials together.
