What to Focus On

  • Constant has a fixed value.
  • Variable can take different values.
  • A term can be a number, a variable, or a product/quotient of numbers and variables.
  • Terms are separated by + or - signs.
  • × and ÷ do not split terms.
  • Monomial = one term.
  • Polynomial terms must have whole-number powers.
  • Negative or fractional powers do not give a polynomial.
  • A variable in the denominator usually means the expression is not a polynomial.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Any expression with variables is a polynomial.

Terms separated by multiplication or division are different terms.

Like terms can be added by adding their variables too.
