2. Scientific Notation
In many fields of science we encounter very large or very small numbers. Scientific notation is a convenient shorthand for expressing these types of numbers.
A positive number is written in scientific notation if it is written as a product of a number a, where 1  a < 10, and an integer power r of 10.
a  10r
Scientific notation

3. Scientific Notation Writing a Number in Scientific Notation
Move the decimal point in the original number to the until the new number has a value between 1 and 10.
Count the number of decimal places the decimal point was moved in Step 1.
If the original number is 10 or greater, the count is positive.
If the original number is less than 1, the count is negative.
Write the product of the new number in Step 1 by 10 raised to an exponent equal to the count found in Step 2.

4. Scientific Notation Example: 4700 4700 = 4.7  103 0.00047
Write each of the following in scientific notation.
Have to move the decimal 3 places to the left, so that the new number has a value between 1 and 10.
4700 1)
Since we moved the decimal 3 places, and the original number was > 10, our count is positive 3.
4700 = 4.7  103
Have to move the decimal 4 places to the right, so that the new number has a value between 1 and 10. 2)
Since we moved the decimal 4 places, and the original number was < 1, our count is negative 4.
= 4.7  10-4

5. Scientific Notation
Writing a Scientific Notation Number in Standard Form
Move the decimal point the same number of places as the exponent on 10.
If the exponent is positive, move the decimal point to the right.
If the exponent is negative, move the decimal point to the left.

6. Scientific Notation Example: 5.2738  103 5.2738  103 = 5273.8
Write each of the following in standard notation.
 103 1)
Since the exponent is a positive 3, we move the decimal 3 places to the right.
 103 =
6.45  10-5 2)
Since the exponent is a negative 5, we move the decimal 5 places to the left.
 10-5 =

7. SCIENTIFIC TO STANDARD
Exp positive = move decimal right
Exp negative = move decimal left

8. STANDARD TO SCIENTIFIC
Move decimal right = negative exp
Move decimal left = positive exp

17. Polynomials and Polynomial Functions
§ 5.3
Polynomials and Polynomial Functions

18. Polynomial Vocabulary
Term – a number or a product of a number and variables raised to powers
Coefficient – numerical factor of a term
Constant – term which is only a number
Polynomial is a sum of terms involving variables raised to a whole number exponent, with no variables appearing in any denominator.

19. Polynomial Vocabulary
In the polynomial 7x5 + x2y2 – 4xy + 7
There are 4 terms: 7x5, x2y2, -4xy and 7.
The coefficient of term 7x5 is 7,
of term x2y2 is 1,
of term –4xy is –4 and
of term 7 is 7.
7 is a constant term.

20. Types of Polynomials Monomial is a polynomial with one term.
Binomial is a polynomial with two terms.
Trinomial is a polynomial with three terms.

21. Degrees Degree of a term Degree of a polynomial
To find the degree, take the sum of the exponents on the variables contained in the term.
Degree of a constant is 0.
Degree of the term 5a4b3c is 8 (remember that c can be written as c1).
Degree of a polynomial
To find the degree, take the largest degree of any term of the polynomial.
Degree of 9x3 – 4x2 + 7 is 3.

22. Combining Like Terms Example:
Like terms are terms that contain exactly the same variables raised to exactly the same powers.
Warning!
Only like terms can be combined through addition and subtraction.
Example:
Combine like terms to simplify.
x2y + xy – y + 10x2y – 2y + xy
= x2y + 10x2y + xy + xy – y – 2y
(Like terms are grouped together)
= (1 + 10)x2y + (1 + 1)xy + (– 1 – 2)y =
11x2y + 2xy – 3y

23. Adding Polynomials Adding Polynomials
To add polynomials, combine all the like terms.
Example:
Add.
(3x – 8) + (4x2 – 3x +3)
= 3x – 8 + 4x2 – 3x + 3
= 4x2 + 3x – 3x – 8 + 3
= 4x2 – 5

24. Subtracting Polynomials
To subtract polynomials, add its opposite.
Example:
Subtract.
4 – (– y – 4)
= 4 + y + 4
= y
= y + 8
(– a2 + 1) – (a2 – 3) + (5a2 – 6a + 7)
= – a2 + 1 – a a2 – 6a + 7
= – a2 – a2 + 5a2 – 6a
= 3a2 – 6a + 11

25. Adding and Subtracting Polynomials
In the previous examples, after discarding the parentheses, we would rearrange the terms so that like terms were next to each other in the expression.
You can also use a vertical format in arranging your problem, so that like terms are aligned with each other vertically.

26. Types of Polynomials a > 0 a < 0
Using the degree of a polynomial, we can determine what the general shape of the function will be, before we ever graph the function.
A polynomial function of degree 1 is a linear function. We have examined the graphs of linear functions in great detail previously in this course and prior courses.
A polynomial function of degree 2 is a quadratic function.
In general, for the quadratic equation of the form y = ax2 + bx + c, the graph is a parabola opening up when a > 0, and opening down when a < 0.
a > 0 x
a < 0 x

27. Types of Polynomials
Polynomial functions of degree 3 are cubic functions. Cubic functions have four different forms, depending on the coefficient of the x3 term.
x3 coefficient is negative
x3 coefficient is positive

45. Special Products
In the process of using the FOIL method on products of certain types of binomials, we see specific patterns that lead to special products.
Square of a Binomial
(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
(a – b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2
Product of the Sum and Difference of Two Terms
(a + b)(a – b) = a2 – b2

46. Special Products
Although you will arrive at the same results for the special products by using the techniques of this section or last section, memorizing these products can save you some time in multiplying polynomials.

47. Evaluating Polynomials
We can use function notation to represent polynomials.
For example, P(x) = 2x3 – 3x + 4.
Evaluating a polynomial for a particular value involves replacing the value for the variable(s) involved.
Example:
Find the value P(2) = 2x3 – 3x + 4.
P(2)
= 2(2)3 – 3(2) + 4
= 2(8)
= 6

48. Evaluating Polynomials
Techniques of multiplying polynomials are often useful when evaluating polynomial functions at polynomial values.
Example:
If f(x) = 2x2 + 3x – 4, find f(a + 3).
We replace the variable x with a + 3 in the polynomial function.
f(a + 3) = 2(a + 3)2 + 3(a + 3) – 4
= 2(a2 + 6a + 9) + 3a + 9 – 4
= 2a2 + 12a a + 9 – 4
= 2a2 + 15a + 23
