Polynomials Ep. 6 - Dividing Monomials - 3:26



KEY CONCEPTS:

same rules apply like when multiplying monomials, except that we are dividing. Also remember the exponent rule, when powers have the same base, subtract the exponents.

Polynomials Ep. 5 - Multiplying Monomials - 5:30



KEY CONCEPTS:

When multiplying monomials, multiply:

- numbers with numbers
- same letters with same letters

**NOTE: When multiplying the letters with one another keep in mind the exponent rule for multiplying powers with the same base (ADD the exponents)

Polynomials Ep. 1 - Types of Polynomials - 4:42



KEY CONCEPTS:

7x
- the 7 represents the numerical coefficient
- the x represents the variable (literal coefficient - the unknown)
- together they would be multiplied together

Monomial - consists of one term (i.e. 7x, 5y^2, -3)

Binomial - consists of two terms (i.e. 2x-5, 3y^2 + 5y)

Trinomial - consists of three terms (i.e 3x^2-4x+7)
