Pre-Algebra
13-1 Polynomials
The simplest type of polynomial is called a
monomial. A monomial is a number or a
product of numbers and variables with
exponents that are whole numbers.

Pre-Algebra
13-1 Polynomials
A polynomial is one monomial or the sum
or difference of monomials. Polynomials
can be classified by the number of terms.
A monomial has 1 term, a binomial has 2
term, and a trinomial has 3 terms.

Additional Example 2: Classifying Polynomials
by the Number of Terms
Classify each expression as a monomial, a
binomial, a trinomial, or not a polynomial.
A. xy2
monomial
Polynomial with 1 term.
B. 2x2 – 4y–2
not a polynomial
–2 is not a whole number.
C. 3x5 + 2.2x2 – 4
trinomial
Polynomial with 3 terms.
D. a2 + b2
binomial
Polynomial with 2 terms.

binomial, a trinomial, or not a polynomial.
A. 4x2 + 7z4
binomial
Polynomial with 2 terms.
B. 1.3x2.5 – 4y
not a polynomial
2.5 is not a whole number.

A polynomial can also be classified by its
degree. The degree of a polynomial is the
degree of the term with the greatest degree.

Additional Example 4: Physics Application
The height in feet after t seconds of a rocket
launched straight up into the air from a 40-foot
platform at velocity v is given by the polynomial
–16t2 + vt + s. Find the height after 10 seconds
of a rocket launched at a velocity of 275 ft/s.
Write the polynomial
–16t
+ vt
+ s
expression for height.
–16(10)2 + 275(10) + 40 Substitute 10 for t, 275
for v, and 40 for s.
–1600 + 2750 + 40
Simplify.
