This video tutorial covers the basics of adding and subtracting polynomials. It explains how to identify like terms, add or subtract coefficients, and maintain the power of terms. The tutorial includes examples of both addition and subtraction, demonstrating how to convert subtraction into addition by changing signs. Practice problems are provided to reinforce the concepts, and the video concludes with a review of mixed polynomial problems and final examples.

What are like terms in the context of polynomials?

• Terms with the same variable and the same power

• Terms with different variables and powers

• Terms with the same variable but different powers

• Terms with the same coefficient
