Some polynomials have special names:


Binomial(two terms): 3x + 5


Trinomial(three terms): 2x2 + 2x + 1


The degree of the polynomial is the


Add/Subtract the following:


(1) 2x - 5 + x + 3 (2) 4m - 3 + 3m + 1

(3) 5n + 6 - 2n + 1 (4) 4y - 2 - 3y - 9

(5) 3x2 - 2x + 1 + x2 - 2x + 3 (6) 3y2- 5 +2y2 - 3y + 4

(7) 6a - 4b + c + 4a + 4b + c (8) 1 - 2y + 3y2 + 3 -2y + y2
