Polynomials and Algebra Tiles. Modeling Polynomials Algebra tiles can be used to model expressions. Algebra tiles can also be used to simplify algebraic.
EQ – what is a polynomial, and how can I tell if a term is one?
8.1 + AND - POLYNOMIALS: Monomial: a real number, a variable, or a product of both. Degree of monomial: The sum of the exponents of its variables. Ex:
Distributive Property Multiply across Parentheses 3(x + 4) = 3(x) + 3(4) 3x + 12 3x + 12 Think of it as looking to DISTRIBUTE something DISTRIBUTE Remember.
