Topics for Today:
Today we began our unit on polynomials with some definitions. We also worked on adding and subtracting polynomials. Like working with any variable expressions, we must always look for like terms when combining their components. Variables raised to different powers cannot be combined by adding and subtracting. One last concept to keep in mind is that when subtracting polynomials, you must subtract each piece of the polynomial; that is, the subtraction must be distributed to each piece of the polynomial and not just its first term.Vocabulary: monomial, degree of a monomial, polynomial, standard form of a polynomial, degree of a polynomial, binomial, trinomial
