1. Chapter 10 : CLASSIFYING POLYNOMIAL
Classifying polynomials by degree and terms.

2. Definition
Polynomials : means more than one
term.
Examples of Polynomials: * Terms are separated by a + or - sign. 2
12x³y
8x² + 4x – 3
x² - 9

3. Chapter 10 : CLASSIFYING POLYNOMIAL
Monomial: Mon means one, a polynomial with one term.
Examples of Monomials:*Terms are joined by a multiplication. 2
-4x
100x²
6x³y²

4. Chapter 10 : CLASSIFYING POLYNOMIAL
* Terms are separated by a + or - sign.
Binomial: Bi means two, a polynomial with two terms.
Examples of Binomials:
x² + 4
-4x³ - 8
10x² +1
6x³y² - 12

5. Chapter 10 : CLASSIFYING POLYNOMIAL
Terms are separated by a + or - sign.
Trinomial: Tri means three, a polynomial with three terms.
Examples of Trinomials:
4x² +2x + 4
-4x³ - 8x² + 2
10x² -x +1

6. Chapter 10 : CLASSIFYING POLYNOMIAL
* More than 3 terms is called a polynomial
Polynomials are named by the highest degree of the expression.
When written in Standard Form (from largest to smallest exponent) largest degree term in the polynomial should be leading term.
