Introduction to Polynomials
Here is an example of a polynomial. Label the degree and leading coefficient.

3x4 + 7x3 + 8x2 + 5x + 9

Evaluate this polynomial for x = 2.

Evaluate this polynomial for x = 10.

State the degree, leading coefficient, and number of terms for these polynomials.

Degree Leading Number of


Coefficient Terms
7x2 + 5x 9

6x11 9x7 + 4x3 + 278

43x + 29

100 36x2

3x + 84x3 + 371 + 2x5 + 231156

1 + 2x + 3x2 + 4x3 + 5x4 + 6x5

Write this polynomial in standard form: 7x3 + 8x 74x5 + 11 29x2


Write these polynomial expressions in standard form:
1.) x+x+x+x

2.) xxxx

3.) x2 + x2 + x2 + x2 + x2 + x + x + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1

4.) (9x2 + 7x + 50) + (11x2 10x + 20)

5.) (9x2 + 7x + 50) (11x2 10x + 20)

6.) (-4x5 + 6x3 22x + 9) (8x4 + 6x3 + 22x + 80)

7.) (15x2 30x3 + 7 + 20x) (25 14x + 20x2 + 100x3)
