Monomial:
A number, a variable, or the product of a number and one
or more variables.

The variables must have non-negative, integer exponents.

Circle the monomials:

Solving Polynomials
We will learn many ways to solve polynomials for x
Using the Calculator!

1. Graph the polynomial

2. Graph the value of y that it should equal
3. Find the intersection of the polynomial and the
horizontal
line. There may be more than one solution!

Multiplying Polynomials
It's just distribution!
3 2
(2x + 3)(x - 5x + 4)
 January 27, 2020

Sometimes you have to distribute more than once...

Write product in standard form:

(x - 3)(2 - x)(x - 1)
