Polynomials And Factoring Flashcards
The sum of the exponents of the variables in the monomial. The degree of s nonzero constant term is zero.
Degree of a monomial
A number variable or the product of s number and one or more variables with whole number exponents.
Monomial
The greatest degree of the terms of the polynomial.
Degree of a polynomial.
A monomial or a sum of monomials called a term of the polynomial
Polynomial
When a polynomial is written so that the exponents of a variable decrease from left to right, the coefficient of the first term is he leading coefficient.
Leading coefficient
A polynomial with terms
Binomial
A polynomial with three terms
Trinomial
The solutions of an equation in which one side is zero and the other side is a product of polynomial factors.
Roots
A model for the height of an object that is propelled into the air but has no power to keep itself in the air
Vertical motion model
Trinomial of the form a^2+2ab+b^2 and a^2-2ab+b2
Perfect square trinomials
To factor a polynomial with four terms by grouping, factor a common monomial from pairs of terms, and then look for a common binomial factor.
Factor by grouping
A factor able polynomial with integer coefficients is factored completely if it is written as a product of unfactorable polynomials with integer coefficients.
Factor completely.
