3. Topic VII: Exponents and Polynomials

4. Exponents and Polynomials
Objective: Understand that polynomials form a system analogous to the integers, namely, they are closed under the operations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication; add, subtract, and multiply polynomials.
Essential Question: How combining like terms help us when adding and subtracting polynomials?

5. Exponents and Polynomials
Vocabulary
Monomial: Is an algebraic expression consisting of a single term (although that term could be an exponent).
Binomial: Is a polynomial algebraic expression or equation with just two terms.
Trinomial: Is a polynomial algebraic expression or equation with three terms.
Polynomial: Is an algebraic expression or equation with more than one term, constructed from variables and constants using only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and non-negative whole- number exponents.

6. Exponents and Polynomials
Vocabulary
Constant term: Is a term in an algebraic expression that has a value that is constant or cannot change, because it does not contain any modifiable variables.
Coefficient: Is the factor of the term (i.e. the number in front of the letter) in a mathematical expression or equation.
Like-Terms: Are terms that contain the same variables raised to the same power. Like terms can be combined to shorten and simplify algebraic expressions.

7. Exponents and Polynomials
Vocabulary
Leading Coefficient: Is the coefficient of the term of highest degree in a given polynomial.
Degree of a monomial: Is the sum of the exponents of the variables that appear in it.
Degree of a polynomial: The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of its terms when the polynomial is expressed in a linear combination of monomials.

Guided Practice – WE DO
What is the simpler form of (4m3  m + 9)  (4m2 + m  12)?
4m3  m + 9  4m2  m Write the opposite of each term in the polynomial being subtracted
4m3  4m2 ( m  m) + (9 + 12) Group like terms
4m3  4m2  2m Simplify
