A polynomial
DEFINITION OF POLYNOMIAL IN X
Polynomial functions are functions
that can be written in this form:
f(x) = anxn + an-1xn-1 + ... + a1x + a0
NOTEWORTHY:
The value of n must be a nonnegative integer.
The coefficients, as they are called, are an, an-1, ...,
a1, a0. These are real numbers.
The degree of the polynomial function is the highest
value for n where an is not equal to 0.
The terms in the polynomial are shown in descending
order by degree. This order illustrates the standard
form of a polynomial.
Polynomials with one, two, or three terms are called,
monomials, binomials, and trinomials, respectively.
Standard form of a polynomial:

CLASSIFYING POLYNOMIALS
Polynomials can be classified by

and by ______________.
A polynomial of more then three terms
has no special name.

ADDING, SUBTRACTING, AND
MULTIPLYING POLYNOMIALS
Note: We will be
using horizontal
format.
To add or subtract
polynomials, we
combine like terms
(equivalent
variables) using
either horizontal
or vertical format.
Adding and Subtracting
Polynomials
Examples:
(y2 - 3y + 6) + (y - 3y 2 + y 3)
(5x2 + 2x +1) - ( 3x2 – 4x –2)

Sum and Difference
(u + v) (u - v) =
Example:
(2x + 3) (2x – 3) =
u2 – v2
Review: Special Product
Patterns
Square of a Binomial Example
(u + v)2 = u2 + 2uv + v2
(u - v)2 =
u2 - 2uv + v2
♥ Perfect Cubes:
Note: Being familiar with perfect cubes
will make quick mental math out of cubing

Example:
(x + 5)3 =
(u - v)3 =
Example:
(x - 3)3 =
u3 - 3u2v + 3uv2 - v3
CHECKING FOR UNDERSTANDING:
Write each polynomial in standard form, then
classify it by degree and number of terms.
(x + 3) (x – 7)
9x 6 y 5 - 7x 4 y3 + 3x 3 y 4 + 17x – 4
(2x + 5)3
(2c – 3) (2c + 4) (c + 1)
(2x + 5y) + (3x – 2y)
(3x 3 + 3x2 – 4x + 5) + (x 3 – 2x2 + x – 4)
A POLYNOMIAL MODEL FOR
VOLUME
2x + 1
x+2
A rectangular box has sides
whose lengths (in inches) are
(2x + 1), (x + 2), and
(x – 2). Write a polynomial, in
standard form, for the
volume of the box. Then find
x-2
the volume of the box when x
is 5 inches.
