ObjectivesThe student will be able to:
1. find the degree of a polynomial.
2. arrange the terms of a polynomial in ascending or descending order.
SOL: A.2.b
Why am I learning this1. You can model real life situations
(sports statistics, money, interest, stocks, chemistry, physics, psychology) with polynomials.
2. Projectile Motion- Angry Birds

What about poly?one or more
A polynomial is a monomial or a sum/difference of monomials.
Important Note!!An expression is not a polynomial if there is a variable in the denominator.
State whether each expression is a polynomial. If it is, identify it.
1) 7y - 3x + 4
trinomial
2) 10x3yz2
monomial
3)

5. I’ve got no idea!
The degree of a monomial is the sum of the exponents of the variables.

To find the degree of a polynomial, find the largest degree of the terms.
1) 8x2 - 2x + 7
Degrees: 2 1 0
Which is biggest? 2 is the degree!
2) y7 + 6y4 + 3x4m4
Degrees: 7 4 8
8 is the degree!

A polynomial is normally put in ascending or descending order.
What is ascending order?
Going from small to big exponents.
What is descending order?
Going from big to small exponents.
Put in descending order:
1) 8x - 3x2 + x4 - 4
x4 - 3x2 + 8x - 4
2) Put in descending order in terms of x:
12x2y3 - 6x3y2 + 3y - 2x
-6x3y2 + 12x2y3 - 2x + 3y
3) Put in ascending order in terms of y: 12x2y3 - 6x3y2 + 3y - 2x
-2x + 3y - 6x3y2 + 12x2y3
4) Put in ascending order:5a3 - 3 + 2a - a2
-3 + 2a - a2 + 5a3
Write in ascending order in terms of y:x4 – x3y2 + 4xy – 2x2y3
1. x4 + 4xy – x3y2– 2x2y3
2. – 2x2y3 – x3y2 + 4xy + x4
3. x4 – x3y2– 2x2y3 + 4xy
4. 4xy – 2x2y3 – x3y2 + x4
Standard form of a polynomial
Is when the polynomial is in descending order.
