Polynomial: a monomial or the of monomials, each called a of the polynomial.

Binomial: the sum of monomials.

Trinomial: the sum of monomials.

Degree of a monomial: the sum of the of all its variables. A nonzero constant term has a degree of ________.

Degree of a polynomial: the degree of any term in the polynomial. Polynomials are named based on their degree.

Example 1: State whether each expression is a polynomial. If it is a polynomial, find the degree and determine whether it is a monomial, binomial, or trinomial.

Warm-UpList the factors of each of the numbers. Then circle the greatest (biggest) one they have in common. 1) 15, 20, 45 2) 36, 18, 6 3) 21, 49, 14 4) 8, 24, 4

Factoring: to express a polynomial as the product of monomials and polynomials.

GCF BasicsTo find the GCF of a number:

1. Ask yourself if the number will divide into the other numbers.

a. If it does, that’s your GCF!

b. If it doesn’t, keep looking. Think of (or list) factors of the ____ number.

Example 2: Find the GCF of the variables.a) x6 + x2 + x7 b) 1 + x4 + x9 c) x + x4 + x3 - x2

Things to remember: Make sure your polynomial is in first.
