What is a polynomial?
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.

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.
(Carnegie calls this “Standard Form” because it is what is normally used.)
If there is more than one variable, you will be told which variable to put in order!

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

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
