POLYNOMIALS

-          An expression composed of one or more terms.

Types of Polynomials:

1.       Binomial – an expression composed of two terms.

Illustration:

a.       x + y

b.      2a – 3

c.       3m – 5n

d.      3(4r) + 3(-4s)

e.      2[(2x + 3y)] + [(4+y)]

2.       Trinomial - an expression composed of three terms.

Illustration:

a.       x + y – z

b.      3b + 2c + 4

c.       a + b – c

d.      2( x+3y) – a + 1

e.      x - 5[(4x - 3)] - [(8+c)]

f.        a² +2ab + b²

3.       Quadronomial - an expression composed of four terms.

Illustration:

g.       2x² + 3y² – 4z - 5

h.      2m³ + 3m² + m-1

i.         a + b – c + d

j.        2( x+3y) – 2a + 7b + 6

k.       X³ - 5[(4x - 3)] - [(8+c)] – c²

l.         a² +2ab + b² -  c²

4.       Polynomial - An expression composed of one or more terms.
