Classifying and Manipulating Polynomials

The video tutorial covers the basics of polynomials, including definitions, degrees, and classification. It explains how to write polynomials in standard form and identify the leading coefficient. The tutorial also demonstrates how to classify polynomials based on their degree and number of terms. Finally, it provides a guide on adding and subtracting polynomials by combining like terms.

What is a polynomial?

• A term with no variables
