    Adding and Subtracting Polynomials
    Polynomials in Standard Form A polynomial is a monomial or a sum of monomials. A binomial is the sum of two
    monomials, and a trinomial is the sum of three monomials. Polynomials with more than three terms have no special
    name. The degree of a monomial is the sum of the exponents of all its variables. The degree of the polynomial is
    the same as the degree of the monomial term with the highest degree.

    The terms of a polynomial are usually arranged so that the terms are in order from greatest degree to least degree.
    This is called the standard form of a polynomial.

    Example: Determine whether each expression is a polynomial. If so, identify the polynomial as a monomial,
    binomial, or trinomial. Then find the degree of the polynomial.

    Monomial, Binomial, Degree of the


    Expression Polynomial?
    or Trinomial? Polynomial
    Yes. 3x – 7xyz = 3x + (–7xyz), which
    3x – 7xyz binomial 3
    is the sum of two monomials

    –25 Yes. –25 is a real number. monomial 0


    3
    No. 3𝑛−4 = 4, which is not a
    7𝑛3 + 3𝑛−4 𝑛 none of these –
    monomial
    Yes. The expression simplifies to
    9𝑥 3 + 4x + x + 4 + 2x 9𝑥 3 + 7x + 4, which is the sum of trinomial 3
    three monomials

    Exercises
    Determine whether each expression is a polynomial. If it is a polynomial, find the degree and determine whether it
    is a monomial, binomial, or trinomial.

    Adding and Subtracting Polynomials
    Add and Subtract Polynomials To add polynomials, you can group like terms horizontally or write them in column
    form, aligning like terms vertically. Like terms are monomial terms that have the same variables, with corresponding
    variables having the same exponent, such as 3p and –5p or 2𝑥 2 y and 8𝑥 2 y.

    You can subtract a polynomial by adding its additive inverse. To find the additive inverse of a polynomial, replace each
    term with its additive inverse or opposite.

    Example: Find (3𝒙𝟐 + 2x – 6) – (2x + 𝒙𝟐 + 3).


    Horizontal Method Vertical Method
    Use additive inverses to rewrite as addition. Align like terms in columns and subtract by adding the
    Then group like terms. additive inverse.
    (3𝑥 2 + 2x – 6) – (2x + 𝑥 2 + 3) 3𝑥 2 + 2x – 6
    = (3𝑥 2 + 2x – 6) + [(–2x) + (–𝑥 2 ) + (–3)] (–) 𝑥 2 + 2x + 3

    = [3𝑥 2 + (–𝑥 2 )] + [2x + (–2x)] + [–6 + (–3)] 3𝑥 2 + 2x – 6


    (+) –𝑥 2 – 2x – 3
    = 2𝑥 2 + (–9)
    2𝑥 2 –9
    = 2𝑥 2 – 9
    The difference is 2𝑥 2 – 9.
    The difference is 2𝑥 2 – 9.

    Exercises
    Find each sum or difference.
    1. (4a – 5) + (3a + 6) 2. (6x + 9) + (4𝑥 2 – 7)
    7a + 1 4x2 + 6x + 2
