15. Most Essential Learning
Competency:
The learner evaluates
algebraic expressions and
perform operations on
polynomials (addition and
subtraction).
Code: M7Al-IIc-4, M7Al-IId-2
16. At the end of the learning period,
you are expected to:
1. evaluate algebraic expressions
2. perform addition and subtraction
on polynomials
18. Standard Form
The polynomial is arranged from
the term with the highest degree, up
to the term with the lowest degree.
Examples:
a. 10m5 +m4 -12m3 +6m2 –m +1
b. 8x4y3 +x3y2 –x2y +11
19. Write the polynomial in standard form.
10b5 +2b7 -11b4 +6b2 –25 +b
Answer:
2b7 +10b5 -11b4 +6b2 +b –25
20. Write the polynomial in standard form.
3x2y3 +2x4y4 + 7x2 -4 +y
Answer:
2x4y4 +3x2y3 + 7x2 +y -4
21. Degree of Polynomial
The exponent or the sum of the
exponents of the variable in the
leading term.
Examples:
a. 10m5 +m4 -12m3 +6m2 –m +1
b. 8x4y3 +x3y2 –x2y +11
22. Leading Term
The first term in a polynomial
written in standard form.
Examples:
a. 10m5 +m4 -12m3 +6m2 –m +1
b. 8x4y3 +x3y2 –x2y +11
23. What is the degree of the polynomial?
2b7 +10b5 -11b4 +6b2 +b –25
Answer: 7
What is the leading term?
Answer: 2b7
24. What is the degree of the polynomial?
3x2y3 +2x4y4 + 7x2 -4 +y
Answer: 8
2x4y4 +3x2y3 + 7x2 +y -4
What is the leading term?
Answer: 2x4y4
26. Kinds of Polynomial according to
degree:
a) Constant –a polynomial of degree zero
b) Linear –degree one
c) Quadratic –degree two
d) Cubic –degree three
e) Quartic –degree four
f) Quintic –degree five
The next degrees have no universal name
yet, they are called “polynomial of degree __”
