Polynomials
John Mascagni 1st Hour
Polynomial: An expression of more than two algebraic terms,
Vocabulary
Polynomial: A monomial or sum of monomials
Degree: The power of the exponentStandard Form of a Polynomial: Has the terms in descending order by degree
Degree of a Polynomial: The largest degree of any term of the polynomial
Monomial: A number, variable, or the product of a number or variable
Properties of Exponents
Products of a Power: A^m*an=a^m+n
Power of a Power: (a^m)^n=a^mn
Power of a Product: (ab)^m=a^mb^m
Negative Exponent: a-1=1/a, a doesn’t equal zero
Zero Exponent: A^0=1, a doesn’t equal zero
Dividing like Bases: A^m/a^n=a^m-n, a doesn’t equal zero
Power of a Quotient: (a/b)^m= a^m/b^m, b doesn’t equal zero
