Polynomials :
Def. A monomial is a number, a variable, or a product of numbers and variables. Exponents on variables
must be nonnegative integers.
ex. 3x, y, - 2, 1/3, 3x2y , ….
ex. ( not a monomial )
x – 2, 3x/y, \/ x3 ,
Def. A polynomial is a variable expression in which the terms are monomials ( a sum of monomials)
A polynomial with one term is called a _______________
with two terms Î _____________
with three terms Î ______________
Addition of polynomials. Combine similar terms ( like terms)
ex. ( 3x2 + 2x – 3 ) + ( 5x2 - 4x - 12 ) = ____________________
ex. ( 2xy + x ) + ( 5xy + y ) = _____________________________
Subtraction:
We perform subtraction operations as before - write as an addition problem and use addition
rules.

Chapter Six. First Degree Equations
First Degree Equations: one variable , with a power of 1
( We will also look at those with two variables with power of 1- but that will be later)
ex. 3x – 2 = x + 1
2x – 3 ( 1 – x ) = x
2x + 3 = 5
3x = 1/3
Recall the operations that you are allowed to use to solve these equations:
1) add equal quantities to both sides to create an equivalent equation ( same solution)
-- this includes subtraction
2) you can multiply both sides (or divide) by any nonzero quantity and still have an equivalent
equation ( same solution )
ex.
c + 2/3 = ¾
- 5z + 5 + 6z = 12
-72 = 18v
- z/4 = 3
7y - 2/5 = 12/5
3(2z – 5) = 4z + 1
page 379: 72
page 387: 59
We have now reviewed solving equations of different forms.
x+a=b
ax + b = c
ax + bx = c
ax + c = bx + d
x+3=-2
3x – 2 = - 4
4x – 7x = 2
2x – 3 = -3x – 2
Use these ideas to solve word problems.

We have seen linear equations in one variable:
look at linear equations in two variables: 2x – y = 3, y = -4x + 3 ,...
an equation of the form y = x2 + 2x + 1 is not a linear equation, neither is xy + 2x = 3
ex. We say (2, 3 ) is a solution of 2x – y = -1 if x =2, y = 3 make the equation a true statement.
ex. Is ( 3, - 1 ) a solution of x – y = 2 ?
ex. If x = 1 is part of a solution of x – 2y = 2, then what is y ?
An equation of the form y = mx + b is of special interest to us.
If we graph enough equations of this form, we start seeing that these equations represent __________

Direct and Inverse Variation.
Direct Variation
: the more you study, the higher your grade
: the greater the distance your drive, the greater the amount of gas you use
y = kx describes a direct relationship between x and y. k is a constant of variation
(constant of proportionality) . We say y varies directly with (as) x.
ex. Find the constant of variation if y varies directly as x and y = 10 when x = 25.
ex. Given that R varies directly as T, and R = 20 when T = 15, find R, when T = 45.
Notice that
when y1 = k1 • x1 and y2 = k2 • x2
if k1 = k2, then
y1/x1 = y2 / x2 .
R = k x Î R varies _______________ as x
If R = 12 when x is 2, then find R when x = 5 . Î __________________
ex. The number of words typed is directly proportional (varies directly) to the time spent typing. A typist
can type 260 words in 4 minutes. Find the number of words typed in 15 minutes.
ex. The distance on object falls is directly proportional to the square of the time (t) of the fall. If an
object falls a distance of 8 ft. in 0.5 second, how far will the object fall in 5 seconds ?
117
Inverse Variation ( Varies inversely – inversely proportional )
: The faster you run, the less time it takes to cover one lap
: The more students in class, the less attention a student gets
y = k/x
describes an inverse relationship between x and y. k is a constant of variation
(constant of proportionality) . We say y varies inversely with (as) x.
R = k / x Î R varies ____________ as x
If R = 4 when x = 1/2, then find R when x = 5/2
Notice that if y1 = k1 /x1 and y2 = k2 / x2 and k1 = k2, then y1 •x1 = y2 •x2
ex. If y varies directly as x2 and y = 12 when x = 2, then find y when x = 3
ex. Let g vary inversely as d and g = 200 when d = 40, then find g when d = 10
ex. The time (t) of travel of an automobile trip varies inversely as the speed (v). Traveling at an
average speed of 65 mph, a trip took 4 hours. The return trip took 5 hours. Find the average speed
