Polynomial Operations and Properties

The video reviews adding and subtracting polynomials, a topic covered in Integrated Math 2, now revisited in Integrated Math 3. It explains how to arrange polynomials in standard form, identify the degree and leading coefficient, and perform addition and subtraction using the vertical method. The video also includes a practical problem involving the perimeter of a rectangle, demonstrating how to solve for the length using polynomial expressions.
