Monomial |
consisting of one term |
|
|
degree |
the amount, level, or extent to which something happens or is present. |
|
|
polynomial |
consisting of several terms. |
|
|
leading coefficient |
are the numbers written in front of the variable with the largest exponent. Just like regular coefficients, they can be positive, negative, real, or imaginary as well as whole numbers, fractions or decimals. For example, in the equation -7x^4 + 2x^3 - 11, the highest exponent is 4. |
|
|
binomial |
an algebraic expression of the sum or the difference of two terms. |
|
|
trinomial |
consisting of three terms. |
|
|
roots |
A real number x will be called a solution or aroot if it satisfies the equation, meaning . It is easy to see that the roots are exactly the x-intercepts of the quadratic function , that is the intersection between the graph of the quadratic function with the x-axis. |
|
|
factor completely |
Some polynomials cannot be factored into the product of two binomials with integer coefficients, (such as x2 + 16), and are referred to as prime. Other polynomials contain a multitude of factors. |
|
|
factor by grouping |
is one way to factor a polynomial |
