Lesson Naming Polynomials
Polynomials are named based on two criteria
Polynomials are named based on two criteria
1.  the highest exponent
Polynomials are named based on two criteria
1.  the highest exponent
2. the number of terms
Polynomials are named based on two criteria
So when given a polynomial
1.  the highest exponent
2. the number of terms
Polynomials are named based on two criteria
So when given a polynomial
1.  the highest exponent
2. the number of terms
x3-4x2+3x-1
Polynomials are named based on two criteria
So when given a polynomial
The highest exponent is three
1.  the highest exponent
2. the number of terms
x3-4x2+3x-1
highest exponent
Polynomials are named based on two criteria
So when given a polynomial
The highest exponent is three
1.  the highest exponent
2. the number of terms
and the number of terms is four
x3-4x2+3x-1
