Polynomials 01: Introduction

Polynomials are a expressions with multiple terms. A term can be a number, a variable, or a number(coefficient) and variable which are multiplied. Examples of a term would be

$2x, 3y^2,-4r,13,x,z^2$ . Terms in a polynomial are separated by addition or subtraction.

Monomials have 1 term (

$x,3y,8z^2,2$ )

Binomials have 2 terms (

$x+4y,3y-z,8z^2+x,y^2-2$ )

Trinomials have 3 terms (

$x+4y-2z,y^2-3y+2,8z^2+3y-x,t^5-3t^3+2$ )

Polynomials have 2 or more terms (

$x+4y-2z +y^2-3y+2-8z^2,3y-x+t^5-3t^3+2$ )
