A Polynomial is a monomial,
or a sum of monomials

Review: What is a monomial?
• 1 term
• Number
• Variable
• Number & Variable Multiplied
• Exponent (as long as the exponent is a whole
number, no fraction, no decimal and no negative
exponents allowed for a mono)
• No variables in the denominator
• No + or - signs
Is the term a polynomial? If so, say whether it
is a monomial, binomial, or trinomial.

y2 + 2y

Binomial, since it has

YES, trinomial since
it has 3 terms

Numeric factor of a term is


called the coefficient.

Polynomials are classified by their
degrees (exponents)

Degree

The Degree of the term is the sum


of the exponents of the variables.

The Degree of a polynomial is


the highest degree of any term.
Identify the degree of each term and the
degree of the polynomial.
- 63x2y3 – 16xy5 + y4
5th 6th 4th
deg deg deg
This is a 6th degree polynomial.

The Degree of a term is the sum of


the exponents of the variables.

The Degree of a polynomial is


the highest degree of any term.
Identify the degree of each term and the
degree of the polynomial.
9x6y5 – 7x4y3 + 3xy4
11th 7th 5th
deg deg deg
This is a 11th degree polynomial.

The Degree of a term is the sum of


the exponents of the variables.

The Degree of a polynomial is


the highest degree of any term.
9x6y5 – 7x4y3 + 3xy4

• Leading term is the term that has the


highest degree in the poly
• Ex: 9x6y5

• Leading coefficient is the coefficient of the


leading term.
• Ex: 9
Hold up the degree of the
polynomial with your
appropriate fingers
