 POLYNOMIAL
• A kind of algebraic expression where each term is a constant, a variable
or a product of constant and variable in which the variable has a whole
number (non-negative number) exponent.
An algebraic expression is NOT a polynomial if:
1. The exponent of the variable is NOT a whole number
2. The variable is inside the radical sign
3. The variable is in the denominator
 KINDS OF POLYNOMIALS
• ACCORDING TO NUMBER OF TERMS • ACCORNING TO DEGREE
MONOMIAL CONSTANT- 0
-a polynomial with one term
LINEAR- 1
• BINOMIAL
-a polynomial with two terms QUADRATIC- 2
• TRINOMIAL CUBIC- 3
-a polynomial with three terms QUARTIC- 4
• MULTINOMIAL
-A Polynomial with four or more terms
QUINTIC- 5
POLYNOMIAL OF DEGREE ( 6 and above)
 STANDARD FORM
• A polynomial is in Standard Form if its terms arranged from the term
with the highest degree up to the term with the lowest degree.
• If the polynomial is in standard form the first term is called the “Leading
Term”, the numerical coefficient of the leading term is called the
“Leading Coefficient” and the exponent or the sum of the exponents of
the variable in the leading term is the DEGREE of the polynomial
