Introduction to Polynomials
- A polynomial is an algebraic expression where all powers of variables are whole numbers (0, 1, 2, 3, ...)
- Examples: x³ + 2x² + 5, 3y² - 7y + 1, 5 (constant polynomial)
- Non-polynomials: √x + 5, 1/x - 3, x^(-2) + 1 (powers are not whole numbers)
Degree of Polynomials
- For one variable: Degree = highest power of the variable
- For multiple variables: Degree = highest sum of powers in any term
- Degree of non-zero constant polynomial = 0
Forms of Polynomials
- Standard form: Terms arranged in descending order of powers
- Index form: All missing terms included with coefficient 0
- Coefficient form: Only coefficients written in order
Operations on Polynomials
- Addition/Subtraction: Combine like terms (same power)
- Multiplication: Use distributive property and laws of indices
