2. MONOMIALS.OPERATIONS
A monomial is an algebraic expression containing one term which can be a number, a variable or
a product of numbers and variables.
For example: 2 2 2 42, , 2 , 13, 520
3a b x xy x y ______________________________

3. POLYNOMIALS. OPERATIONS
A polynomial is an algebraic sum of ____________, for example:
If there are _____________, it is called a ___________, for example:
The _________ of the polynomial is the degree of the ____________________ that it
contains.
Examples: x4 − 7x3 is a ________________ binomial
4x2 + 2x − 7 is a ________________ polynomial
Polynomials are usually written this way, with the terms written in __________________
_________ a polynomial is the same as ________ its number value at a _______ value of the
variable. For instance: Evaluate 2x3 − x2 − 4x + 2 at x = −3:
Exercise: Evaluate the polynomial x3 − 2x2 + 3x − 4 at the given values of x:
3.1. ADDING AND SUBTRACTING POLYNOMIALS
There are two ways of adding or subtracting polynomials:
A(x) = 3x3 + 3x2 – 4x + 5 B(x) = x3 – 2x2 - 4
A(x) + B(x):
Horizontally:
Vertically:

3.2. MULTIPLYING POLYNOMIALS
- Monomial x polynomial:
____________ the monomial through the brackets (____________ rule)
Examples: a) -3x · (4x2 – x + 10) =
b) 2x2 · (3x3 – 5x2 + 4) =
- Polynomial x polynomial: Look at these examples:
1) (x + 2)(x – 3) =
2) (x2 – 3x)(x + 1) =
3) (x + 3)(4x2 – 4x – 7) =
You can also do it in the “vertical way”: 4x2 – 4x – 7
x + 3
4. EQUATIONS
4.1. BASIC CONCEPTS
An _______ is an algebraic expression which contains an _______________and
__________. Examples:
A _________ of an equation is a ________ we can put in place of an ________ that
makes the equation ________.

_______ the equation means _______ the ________ that makes it true, that is the
________.
Example: There are two values that make true the following equation:
Exercises:
1) Is the value x = 8 solution of any of the following equations?
x - 4 = 10 5 - x = -3 3x = 12 2x + 4 = 20
- 4 = 10 5 - = -3
2) Figure out the solution of the following equations:
2x = 14 x – 4 = - 9 x2 – 36 = 0 3x + 7 = 19 4x + 5 = 15 – x

- EQUATIONS WITH BRACKETS
If an equation has brackets in it, you have to “remove” them by applying the distributive rule,
or in other words, by ____________________, for example:
1) 5x – 2(2x – 2) = 8 – (3 + 2x) 2) 4 – 7(2x – 3) = 3x – 4(3x – 5)
- EQUATIONS WITH DENOMINATORS
When there are denominators in several terms of the equation, you have to “remove” them in
the following way:
1) Reduce every fraction to the least common denominator (the new denominator will be the
________________________ of the denominators).
2) Multiply both sides of the equation by the LCM.
Examples:
5. SOLVING PROBLEMS WITH EQUATIONS
The typical steps used to solve real-words problems with equations are:
1) Read the problem.
2) Identify the important information and the question.
3) Assign a ___________ to the quantity you want to ______.
4) Write other ___________ in terms of that variable.
5) Create an _________ which relates the quantities.
6) ________ the equation.
7) Check your ________ by recreating the equation (make sure that everything seems
___________)
