Terms
a term is a number, a variable, or a
product of a number and one or more
variables with exponents. Like terms (same
variable or variables raised to the same power)
needs to be combined to simplify a
polynomial.

𝑝 𝑥 = 2𝑥 + 4𝑥 + 6𝑥 + 8

Numerical Coefficient
a number that is the multiplier of the
variables in a term. Also known as
COEFFICIENT.

𝑝 𝑥 = 2𝑥 + 4𝑥 + 6𝑥 + 8

Literal Coefficient
a variable used to represent a number.
The number the variable represents can be
either known or unknown. It can be our usual
x or y, or it can be other letters, such as a, b, or
c… except o.

Degree
 One Variable - the highest exponent of
the variable in a polynomial expression
in one variable.
 Two or More variable - highest sum of
exponent in one term.

Leading Term
the term containing the highest power
of the variable: the term with the highest degree.

Leading Coefficient
the coefficient of the leading term.
Standard Form of
Polynomial Function
Standard Form of
Polynomial Function
the standard form of a polynomial is expressed by
writing the degree in descending order. The standard
form of polynomial is given by,

p(x) = anxn + an-1xn-1 + an-2xn-2 + ... + a1x + a0
