What is the degree of the monomial axn?
In the monomial axn, identify the coefficient and the exponent.
Expand: (x + a)(x + b).
Subtract the polynomial (q) from (p).
Multiply the monomials: axm · bxn.
Evaluate P(x) = ax2 + (b) when x = x.
Add the like terms a and b.
How is ax2 + bx + c classified by its number of terms?

Monomials and polynomials

A monomial is a product of a number and powers of variables, while a polynomial is a sum of monomials. Like terms have identical variable parts, so only their coefficients are combined. When multiplying monomials, multiply coefficients and add exponents of equal variables.

Polynomial operations

When subtracting a polynomial, change the sign of every term in it. Expand brackets carefully before collecting terms. The degree of a monomial is the sum of its variable exponents; the degree of a simplified polynomial is the greatest degree of its terms.
