Let’s see how well you were paying attention…
1. Use your notes from the front to help you analyze the following polynomials. Identify the degree,
number of terms, and leading coefficient. For “f” , find the degree of the numerator and denominator.
a. 4x3 + 2x – 1
b. 7x3 – 11x + x5 – 2
c. 9 – 5x4
d. x4(2 + 2x)
e. -3(x3 – 2x6)
f. f ( x) 
3x 4  x 2  2
4x  2
