What to Focus On

  • A polynomial has terms of the form ax^n.
  • The exponent n must be a whole number.
  • Negative powers and fractional powers are not allowed.
  • Degree means highest power of the variable.
  • A linear polynomial has degree 1.
  • A quadratic polynomial has degree 2.
  • Substitute the given value of the variable.
  • Simplify carefully using brackets.
  • The result is called the value of the polynomial at that number.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The degree of a polynomial is the highest coefficient, not the highest power.

Any expression with x in the denominator is still a polynomial if the numerator looks like a polynomial.

The number of terms decides the degree of a polynomial.

Memory Tips

Not a polynomial when powers are fractional or negative
