Specific Terms
Polynomials – is one term or the sum of
two or more terms.
 Monomials – is a polynomial with one
term
 Binomial – is a polynomial with two
terms.
 Trinomial – is a polynomial with three
terms.
review
1. Rearrange the variables so all
like terms are side by side (work from left
to right recording largest term to smallest)
Example:
- 4k + 9 + 3k – 2 + k – 2k
Rearranged:
- 4k – 2k + 3k + k + 9 - 2
review
2. The sign in front of the number comes
with the number
- 4k – 2k + 3k + k + 9 - 2
review
3. Perform the operation as if every variable
is a number.
- 4k – 2k + 3k + k + 9 - 2
= (- 4 – 2 + 3 + 1) k + 7
= -2k + 7
Whole Number
A whole number is the set of numbers
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, …………… etc.
Is X/1 a whole number?
Polynomials
In a polynomial, exponents that occur with
variables are whole numbers.
1
Since x
=
x-1,
1
x
is not a polynomial
because x-1 is a negative exponent which is
not a whole number but an integer.
