Carlson's Polynomials Day 1

What is a polynomial?

Polynomial Definition: An expression consisting of many terms.

Example: 5, -6x, 4x²-1, 9x³+4x²-x-2

Presentation for SCHS Algebra 1

Pre Unit Lesson Polynomials

Objective Day 1:

Students will be able to define polynomial.

Student will be able to write a polynomial expression in standard form.

Students will be able to classify polynomials by degree and terms.

Standard Form

Must be written in alphabetical order with the highest exponent first.

Example:

3x+1+2x² should be written as 2x²+3x+1
