  2. Definitions and Vocabulary • A term is a number, a variable or the product of a number and a variable. Terms are the pieces that make up an expression. • If a term does not contain a variable, it is also called a constant.

  3. Definitions and Vocabulary • A polynomial is an expression in which terms are connected by addition, subtraction, and/or multiplication. • Polynomials with special names

  4. Definitions and Vocabulary • The coefficient of a variable is the number that is attached to the variable by multiplication. Constants are also considered coefficents. • Example: Give the coefficient of each term.

  5. Example: Is the expression a polynomial?

  6. Writing Polynomials • Polynomials are written in descending powers of . • Example: Write the polynomial in descending powers of .

  7. Definitions and Vocabulary • The degree of a polynomial with one variable is the exponent of the highest power of that variable. • Polynomials with special names

  8. Example: name the polynomial by degree and by number of terms
