LESSON 6.2 POLYNOMIAL OPERATIONS I

LESSON 6.2 POLYNOMIAL OPERATIONS I Overview In business, people use algebra everyday to find unknown quantities. For example, a manufacturer may use algebra to determine a product s selling price in order to maximize the company s profit. A landscape architect may be interested in finding a formula for the area of a patio deck. To find these quantities, you need to be able to add, subtract, multiply, and divide polynomials. Explain Concept has sections on Definitions Degree of a Polynomial Writing Terms in Descending Order Evaluating a Polynomial Adding Polynomials Subtracting Polynomials CONCEPT : ADDING AND SUBTRACTING POLYNOMIALS Definitions A monomial is an algebraic expression that contains exactly one term. The term may be a constant, or the product of a constant and one or more variables. The exponent of any variable must be a nonnegative integer (that is, a whole number). The following are monomials: 2 x 2 5wy 3 2 gt2 4.35T A monomial in one variable, x, can be written in the form ax r, where a is any real number and r is a nonnegative integer. LESSON 6.2 POLYNOMIAL OPERATIONS I EXPLAIN 383

A polynomial with 4 terms is called a four term polynomial. A polynomial with 5 terms is called a five term polynomial, and so on. The following are not monomials: x 2 3 The denominator contains a variable with a positive exponent. So the term cannot be written in the form ax r where r is a nonnegative integer. 3 x 2 There is a squared variable under a cube root symbol. So the term cannot be written in the form ax r where r is a nonnegative integer. A polynomial is the sum of one or more monomials. Here are some examples: 2x 3 5x 2 x 2 5 3xy 2 7x 5y A polynomial with one, two, or three terms has a special name. Number Name of terms Examples monomial x, 5y, 3xy 3, 5 binomial 2 x, 2x 2 3, 5xy 3 4x 3 y 2 trinomial 3 x 2 2x, 3x 2 y 3 xy 5 Example 6.2. Determine if each expression is a polynomial. 24 x 2 a. 4w 3 b. 3x c. x 3 2 d. x 2 Remember: x 0, for x 0 x x Solution a. The expression is a polynomial. It has one term, so it is a monomial. The term has the form aw r, where a 4 and r 3. b. The expression is not a polynomial. The term 2 4 x2 cannot be written in the form ax r where r is a nonnegative integer. c. The expression is not a polynomial. The term x 3 cannot be written in the form ax r where r is a nonnegative integer. d. The expression is a polynomial. It has two terms, so it is a binomial. Each term can be written in the form ax r : x 2 x 2x 0 384 TOPIC 6 EXPONENTS AND POLYNOMIALS

Degree of a Polynomial The degree of a term of a polynomial is the sum of the exponents of the variables in that term. For example, consider this trinomial: 6x 3 y 2 xy 2 3 5 x 4. The degree of the first term is 5. 6x 3 y 2 degree 3 2 5 The degree of the second term is 3. xy 2 x y 2 degree 2 3 The degree of the last term is 4. 3 5 x 4 In 3 5, the exponent does not contribute degree 4 to the degree because the base, 3, is not a variable. The degree of a polynomial is equal to the degree of the term with the highest degree. In this polynomial, the term with degree 5 degree 3 degree 4 the highest degree has degree 5. So this polynomial has degree 5. 6x 3 y 2 x y 2 3 5 x 4 The polynomial has degree 5. Writing Terms in Descending Order The terms of a polynomial in one variable are usually arranged by degree, in descending order, when read from left to right. For example, this polynomial x 3 7x 2 4x 2 contains one variable, x. The terms of the polynomial x 3 7x 2 4x 2x 0 are arranged by degree in descending order. degree degree degree degree 3 2 0 LESSON 6.2 POLYNOMIAL OPERATIONS I EXPLAIN 385

Example 6.2.2 Arrange the terms of this polynomial in descending order and determine the degree of the polynomial: 7x 3 8 2x x 4 Solution Write 8 as 8x 0. Write 2x as 2x. 7x 3 8x 0 2x x 4 Arrange the terms by degree in x 4 7x 3 2x 8x 0 descending order (4, 3,, 0). The last two terms may be written x 4 7x 3 2x 8 without exponents. The term of highest degree is x 4. The degree of x 4 is 4. So, the degree of this polynomial is 4. Evaluating a Polynomial To evaluate a polynomial, we replace each variable with the given number, then simplify. Example 6.2.3 Evaluate this polynomial when w 3 and y 2: 6w 2 4wy y 4 5 Solution Substitute 3 for w and 2 for y. 6(3) 2 4(3)(2) (2) 4 5 First, do the calculations with 6(9) 4(3)(2) 6 5 the exponents. Multiply. 54 24 6 5 Add and subtract. 9 Adding Polynomials To add polynomials, combine like terms. Recall that like terms are terms that have the same variables raised to the same power. That is, like terms have the same variables with the same exponents. Like terms 3x, 2x 8xy 2, 5.6xy 2 24, 4xy, 6yx NOT like terms 7x, 5xy The variables do not match. 3x 2 y 3, 2x 3 y 2 The powers of x do not match. The powers of y do not match. 386 TOPIC 6 EXPONENTS AND POLYNOMIALS

Example 6.2.4 Find: (5x 3 3x 2 7) (6x 3 8x 2 x 5) Solution (5x 3 3x 2 7) (6x 3 8x 2 x 5) Remove the parentheses. 5x 3 3x 2 7 6x 3 8x 2 x 5 Write like terms next to 5x 3 6x 3 3x 2 8x 2 x 7 5 each other. Combine like terms. 2x 3 5x 2 x 8 We can also place one polynomial beneath the other and add like terms. 5x 3 3x 2 7 6x 3 8x 2 x 5 2x 3 5x 2 x 8 Example 6.2.5 Find the sum of (3z 3 2zy 2 6y 3 ) and (5z 3 5zy 2 4z 2 ). Solution Write the sum. (3z 3 2zy 2 6y 3 ) (5z 3 5zy 2 4z 2 ) Remove the parentheses. 3z 3 2zy 2 6y 3 5z 3 5zy 2 4z 2 Write like terms next 3z 3 5z 3 2zy 2 5zy 2 6y 3 4z 2 to each other.

To find the opposite of a polynomial, multiply each term by. For example: The opposite of 5x 2 is 5x 2. The opposite of 2x 7 is 2x 7. Here s a way to find the opposite of a polynomial: Change the sign of each term. Example 6.2.6 Find: (8w 2 w 32) (40 3w 2 ) Solution (8w 2 w 32) (40 3w 2 ) Change the subtraction to (8w 2 w 32) ()(40 3w 2 ) addition of the opposite. Remove the parentheses. 8w 2 w 32 40 3w 2 Write like terms next to 8w 2 3w 2 w 32 40 each other. Combine like terms. 5w 2 w 72 So, (8w 2 w 32) (40 3w 2 ) 5w 2 w 72. We can also place one polynomial beneath the other and subtract like terms. 8w 2 w 32 (3w 2 40) To do the subtraction, we change the sign of each term being subtracted, then add. 8w 2 w 32 (3w 2 w 40) 5w 2 w 72 LESSON 6.2 POLYNOMIAL OPERATIONS I EXPLAIN 387

Example 6.2.7 Subtract (5z 2 5yz 2 4y 3 ) from (6y 3 0z 3 2yz 2 ). We can also place one polynomial beneath the other and subtract like terms. 6y 3 0z 3 2yz 2 (4y 3 5yz 2 5z 2 ) To do the subtraction, we change the sign of each term being subtracted, then add. 6y 3 0z 3 02yz 2 (4y 3 05yz 2 5z 2 ) 2y 3 0z 3 0yz 2 5z 2 Solution Be careful! Subtract A from B means B A. The order is important. Write the difference. (6y 3 0z 3 2yz 2 ) (5z 2 5yz 2 4y 3 ) Change the subtraction to addition of the opposite. (6y 3 0z 3 2yz 2 ) ()(5z 2 5yz 2 4y 3 ) Remove the parentheses. 6y 3 0z 3 2yz 2 5z 2 5yz 2 4y 3 Write like terms next to each other. 6y 3 4y 3 0z 3 2yz 2 5yz 2 5z 2 Combine like terms. 2y 3 0z 3 7yz 2 5z 2 Here is a summary of this concept from Interactive Mathematics. 388 TOPIC 6 EXPONENTS AND POLYNOMIALS

Dividing a Polynomial By a Monomial When you added fractions, you learned: a c b c a b, where c 0 c If we exchange the expressions on either side of the equals sign, we have: a b a c c b c We will use this property to divide a polynomial by a monomial. To divide a polynomial by a monomial, divide each term of the polynomial by the monomial.
