Ordering a polynomial from largest exponent to smallest is known as .......
Standard Form
ex: 2x2+9x-4x4+17
Becomes: -4x4+2x2+9x+17
Simplify:
(-5y2+17y-3)+(9y2-7y+3)
4y2+10y
***Don't change the exponent***
Simplify:
9y3(4y3)
36y6
**Add exponents of the same variable***
Factor using the GCF Method:
6t3+9t2
3t2(2t+3)
***Find GCF of coefficients and smallest exponent of variable****
When adding polynomials we __________
and NEVER _________
Combine Like Terms
Change Exponent
ex: (5t2+6t)+(3t2-7t)
Becomes: 8t2-1t
Simplify:
(9ab3+3b3)+(4a3-5ab3+b3)
4a3+4ab3+4b3
***Can only combine terms with the EXACT same variables AND exponents****
Simplify:
5s3t2(8st)
40s4t3
*** Variables without a visible exponent have an exponent of 1, we just don't write it***
Factoring using GCF Method:
8w8-4w3+2w
2w(4w7-2w2+1)
***Must find GCF of ALL terms***
You must complete Keep - Change - Change
ex: (4x-9)-(2x+6)
Becomes: (4x-9)+(-2x-6)
Simplify:
(8f4-9f2)-(4f4+9f2)
4f4-18f2
***Keep-Change-Change***
Simplify:
8k4(k3-4k+12)
8k7-32k5+72k4
***Distribute 8k4 to ALL terms in parentheses***
Factor using GCF Method:
-5r3+15r-20
-5(r3-3r+4)
***Pull negative out IF first term is negative***
When multiplying binomials we must __________ each term in the first binomial by each term in the second binomial.
Multiply/distribute
ex: (r+2)(r-5)
Becomes: r(r)+r(-5)+2(r)+2(-5)
r2-5r+2r-10
r2-3r-10
Simplify:
(3g3+9g3h-2h3)-(7g3+3g3h-6h3)
-4g3+6g3h+4h3
***Keep-Change-Change***
Simplify:
(m+9)(m+2)
m2+11m+18
***Multiply both terms in the first binomial times both terms in the second binomial***
x2-9x+18
Hint: Don't forget negative times negative is a positive number!
(x-3)(x-6)
***Split middle and factor each half using GCF method***
When factoring by GCF Method we first find the __________ of the coefficients and then check the __________ of the terms and pull out the _________ exponent among the variables.
GCF

Smallest
The length of a rectangle is represented by L=(2x-4) ft.
The width of the same rectangle is represented by w=(5x+8) ft.
Using P=2(w)+2(L), find the expression that represents the Perimeter of the rectangle.
P=(14x+8) ft.
***Distribute the 2 to each term inside the parentheses***
Simplify:
(5t-7)(t+5)
5t2+18t-35
***Bring the minus in front of the 7 with it when multiplying***
Factor the Trinomial:
3x2+8x-3
(3x-1)(x+3)
***Look for the repeating bonimial when factoring!***
When we divide variables together we ___________ the exponents
Subtract
ex:
x2(x)=x(2+1)=x3
x2/x=x(2-1)=x
The length of a rectangle is represented by L=(2x-4) ft.
The width of the same rectangle is represented by w=(5x+8) ft.
Using A=Lw, find the expression that represents the Area of the rectangle.
A=(10x2-4x-32) ft2
***You can use the Box Method to help!***
When factoring trinomials we split the middle term using the pair of factors that _____________________ and ___________________
Multiplies to the first(last) term
Adds to the middle term
