The document explains polynomials as algebraic expressions formed by the sum or difference of terms with whole-number exponents. It outlines criteria for identifying non-polynomials, such as negative exponents, variables in denominators, or under radical signs. Additionally, it categorizes polynomials based on the number of terms (monomial, binomial, trinomial, multinomial) and their degree (constant, linear, quadratic).

POLYNOMIALS

SALBIN A. SANTI
POLYNOMIALS

-Is an algebraic expression


that represents a sum of
difference of one or more
terms containing whole-
number exponents on the
variable.
Examples:
5 𝟐 𝟓
𝒙 + 𝟒 𝒙 −𝟓 − 𝒙+𝒚
𝟒 𝒙
−𝒙+
𝟐
𝟐𝒙 √ 𝟒 𝒙 + 𝟐 𝒙𝒚
𝟐
An expression is NOT a polynomial if:
1. Its exponent is a negative number, not a whole
number or variable.

EXAMPLES:
2. The variable is in the denominator.

EXAMPLES:

,
3. The variable is under the radical sign.

EXAMPLES:

√𝟒 𝒙 𝟑
√ 𝒎+𝟓 𝒏

√𝒙
The degree of a term is the exponent of its
variable while the degree of the polynomial is
the highest degree appearing in any of the terms
in that polynomial.

If a term consists of two or more variables, the degree of


that term is the sum of the exponents of the variables.
EXAMPLE:

, we have the degree of each term as


follows:

has a degree 3 (1 + 2 = 3)
has a degree 6 (2 + 4 = 6)
-3 has a degree 4

Since 6 is the highest sum of the exponent


from the term then the degree is 6.
Kind of polynomial according to the number of terms

Number of Kind of Examples


terms Polynomial
1 Monomial x, 5y, 6c
2 Binomial 2(x + y) = 2x + 2y

is equivalent to

a + b + c, 2(x + y + z)
3 Trinomial By distributive:
2(x + y + z) = 2x + 2y + 2z

4 or more Multinomial
Kind of polynomial according to its degree.
