18. Polynomial
A polynomial may contain any number of
terms, one or more than one.
Examples of polynomials: a + b + c + d,
3xy, 7xyz – 10, 2x + 3y + 7z, etc.
19. • Classify the following polynomials as
monomials, binomials, trinomials.
• – z + 5
• x + y + z
• y + z + 100
• ab – ac, 17
20. Construct
(a) 3 binomials with only x as a variable;
(b) 3 binomials with x and y as variables;
(c) 3 monomials with x and y as variables;
(d) 2 polynomials with 4 or more terms
21. • Like and Unlike Terms
