California Standards:2.0 Students understand and use such operations as taking the opposite, finding the reciprocal, taking a root, and raising to a fractional power. They understand and use the rules of exponents.
10.0 Students add, subtract, multiply, and divide monomials and polynomials. Students solve multistep problems, including word problems, by using these techniques.
What it means for you:You’ll add polynomials and multiply a polynomial by a number.

Lesson
1.1.1
You saw in Topic 6.1.1 that polynomials are just algebraic expressions with one or more terms.

6.1.2
Adding polynomials isn’t difficult at all.
The only problem is that you can only add certain parts of each polynomial together.

The Opposite of a Polynomial
Adding PolynomialsAdding PolynomialsTopic
6.1.2
The opposite of a number is its additive inverse.
The opposite of a positive number is its corresponding negative number, and vice versa.
For example, –1 is the opposite of 1, and 1 is the opposite of –1.
To find the opposite of a polynomial, you make the positive terms negative and the negative terms positive.

Adding PolynomialsAdding PolynomialsTopic
6.1.2
Adding polynomials consists of combining all like terms.
There are a few ways of adding polynomials — one method is by collecting like terms and simplifying, another is through the vertical lining up of terms.
The following Example explains these two methods.
8
(–5x2 + 3x – 1) + (6x2 – x + 3) + (5x – 7)
= –5x2 + 3x – 1 + 6x2 – x + 3 + 5x – 7
= –5x2 + 6x2 + 3x – x + 5x – 1 + 3 – 7
= x2 + 7x – 5

Multiplying a Polynomial by a Number
Adding PolynomialsAdding PolynomialsTopic
6.1.2
Multiplying a polynomial by a number is the same as adding the polynomial together several times.

Example 3
Topic
6.1.2
Multiply x + 3 by 3.
Solution
Solution follows…
(x + 3) × 3 = (x + 3) + (x + 3) + (x + 3)
= x + x + x + 3 + 3 + 3
= 3x + 9

Multiplying a Polynomial by a Number
Adding PolynomialsAdding PolynomialsTopic
6.1.2
The simple way to multiply a polynomial by a number is to multiply each term of the polynomial by the number.
In other words, you multiply out the parentheses, using the distributive property of multiplication over addition.

Multiply x2 + 2x – 4 by 3.
Solution
Solution follows…
3(x2 + 2x – 4) = (3 × x2) + (3 × 2x) – (3 × 4)
= 3x2 + 6x – 12

Round UpRound Up
Adding polynomials can look hard because there can be several terms in each polynomial.
The important thing is to combine each set of like terms, step by step.
