What to Focus On

  • Variables are letters that represent unknown quantities (usually x, y, z)
  • Constants are numbers with fixed values (like 5, -2, √3)
  • In algebra, multiplication signs are often omitted: 5×x = 5x, a×b = ab

  • Terms are parts of an expression separated by + or - signs
  • Coefficient is the numerical part of a term
  • Like terms have identical variable parts with same powers

  • Polynomials have non-negative integer exponents only
  • Variables cannot appear in denominators or under roots
  • Monomial (1 term), Binomial (2 terms), Trinomial (3 terms)

Common Mistakes to Avoid

When adding algebraic expressions, you can add any terms together, regardless of their variables and powers

The degree of a polynomial is the highest coefficient in the expression

(a + b)² = a² + b² and (a - b)² = a² - b²

Memory Tips

Variables vs Constants

Polynomial Definition Rules

Monomial, Binomial, Trinomial

Like vs Unlike Terms
