1. Essential Question How do you add and subtract polynomials?

2. Monomials - a number, a variable, or a product of a number and one or more variables. 4x, 20x 2 yw 3, -3, a 2 b 3, and 3yz are all monomials. Polynomials – one or more monomials added or subtracted 4x + 6x 2, 20xy - 4, and 3a 2 - 5a + 4 are all polynomials. Vocabulary

3. Like Terms Like Terms refers to monomials that have the same variable(s) but may have different coefficients. The variables in the terms must have the same powers. Which terms are like? 3a 2 b, 4ab 2, 3ab, -5ab 2 4ab 2 and -5ab 2 are like. Even though the others have the same variables, the exponents are not the same. 3a 2 b = 3aab, which is different from 4ab 2 = 4abb.

4. Like Terms Constants are like terms. Which terms are like? 2x, -3, 5b, 0 -3 and 0 are like. Which terms are like? 3x, 2x 2, 4, x 3x and x are like. Which terms are like? 2wx, w, 3x, 4xw 2wx and 4xw are like.

5. 1. Add the following polynomials: (9y - 7x + 15a) + (-3y + 8x - 8a) Group your like terms. 9y - 3y - 7x + 8x + 15a - 8a 6y + x + 7a

6. Combine your like terms. 3a 2 + 3ab + 4ab - b 2 + 6b 2 3a 2 + 7ab + 5b 2 2. Add the following polynomials: (3a 2 + 3ab - b 2 ) + (4ab + 6b 2 )

7. Add the polynomials. + X2X2 11 X X XY Y Y Y Y 111 X Y Y Y 1 11 1.x 2 + 3x + 7y + xy + 8 2.x 2 + 4y + 2x + 3 3.3x + 7y + 8 4.x 2 + 11xy + 8

8. Line up your like terms. 4x 2 - 2xy + 3y 2 +-3x 2 - xy + 2y 2 _________________________ x 2 - 3xy + 5y 2 3. Add the following polynomials using column form: (4x 2 - 2xy + 3y 2 ) + (-3x 2 - xy + 2y 2 )

9. Rewrite subtraction as adding the opposite. (9y - 7x + 15a) + (+ 3y - 8x + 8a) Group the like terms. 9y + 3y - 7x - 8x + 15a + 8a 12y - 15x + 23a 4. Subtract the following polynomials: (9y - 7x + 15a) - (-3y + 8x - 8a)

10. Rewrite subtraction as adding the opposite. (7a - 10b) + (- 3a - 4b) Group the like terms. 7a - 3a - 10b - 4b 4a - 14b 5. Subtract the following polynomials: (7a - 10b) - (3a + 4b)

11. Line up your like terms and add the opposite. 4x 2 - 2xy + 3y 2 + (+ 3x 2 + xy - 2y 2 ) -------------------------------------- 7x 2 - xy + y 2 6. Subtract the following polynomials using column form: (4x 2 - 2xy + 3y 2 ) - (-3x 2 - xy + 2y 2 )

12. Find the sum or difference. (5a – 3b) + (2a + 6b) 1.3a – 9b 2.3a + 3b 3.7a + 3b 4.7a – 3b

13. Find the sum or difference. (5a – 3b) – (2a + 6b) 1.3a – 9b 2.3a + 3b 3.7a + 3b 4.7a – 9b
