<p>To add polynomials we simply add any <b>like terms</b> together ... so what is a like term?</p>
|
|
<h2>Like Terms</h2>
|
|
<p><a href="like-terms.html">Like Terms</a> are <b>terms</b> whose variables (and their <a href="../exponent.html">exponents</a> such as the 2 in x<sup>2</sup>) are the same.</p>
|
|
<p> In other words, terms that are "like" each other. </p>
|
|
<p>Note: the <b>coefficients</b> (the numbers you multiply by, such as "5" in 5x) can be different.</p>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
|
<h3>Example:</h3>
|
|
<table border="0" align="center">
|
|
<tr align="center">
|
|
<td width="80" class="larger" >7<b>x</b></td>

</table>
|
|
<p>are all <b>like terms</b> because the variables are all <b>x</b></p>

</div>

<h3>Example:</h3>

<h2>Adding Polynomials</h2>
|
|
<p>Two Steps:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Place <b>like terms</b> together</li>
|
|
<li>Add the like terms</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
|
<p>Example: Add <b>2x<sup>2</sup> + 6x + 5</b> and <b>3x<sup>2</sup> - 2x - 1</b></p>
|
|
<p> </p>
|
|
<div class="tbl">
|
|
<div class="row"><span class="left">Start with:</span><span class="right">2x<sup>2</sup> + 6x + 5 + 3x<sup>2</sup> − 2x − 1</span></div>
|
|
<div class="row"><span class="left">Place like terms together:</span><span class="right">2x<sup>2</sup>+3x<sup>2</sup> + 6x−2x + 5−1</span></div>
|
|
<div class="row"><span class="left">Which is:</span><span class="right">(2+3)x<sup>2</sup> + (6−2)x + (5−1)</span></div>
|
|
<div class="row"><span class="left">Add the like terms:</span><span class="right">5x<sup>2</sup> + 4x + 4</span></div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>Here is an animated example:</p>
|
|
<script type="text/javascript">playerMain("images/polynomials-add-a.txt",600,210);</script>
|
|
<p><i>(Note: there was no "like term" for the -7 in the other polynomial, so we didn't have to add anything to it.</i>)</p>
|
|
<h2>Adding in Columns</h2>
|
|
<p>We can also add them in columns like this:</p>
|
|
<script type="text/javascript">playerMain("images/polynomials-add-b.txt",600,210);</script>
|
|
<h2>Adding Several Polynomials</h2>
|
|
<p>We can add several polynomials together like that.</p>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
|
<p>Example: Add <b>(2x<sup>2</sup> + 6y + 3xy)</b> , <b>(3x<sup>2</sup> - 5xy - x)</b> and <b>(6xy + 5)</b> </p>
|
|
<p>Line them up in columns and add:</p>
|
|
<p class="mono">2x<sup>2</sup> + 6y + 3xy<br />
|
|
3x<sup>2</sup> - 5xy - x<br />
|
|
<u> 6xy + 5</u></p>
|
|
<p class="mono">5x<sup>2</sup> + 6y + 4xy - x + 5</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>Using columns helps us to match the correct terms together in a complicated sum.</p>
|
|
<h2>Subtracting Polynomials</h2>
|
|
<p>To subtract Polynomials, first <b>reverse the sign of each term</b> we are subtracting (in other words turn "+" into "-", and "-" into "+"), <b>then add</b> as usual. </p>
|
|
<p>Like this:</p>
|
|
<script type="text/javascript">playerMain("images/polynomials-add-c.txt",600,300);</script>
|
|
<p><i>Note: After subtracting 2xy from 2xy we ended up with 0, so there is no need to mention the "xy" term any more.</i></p>
|
|
<p> </p>
|
|
<div class="questions">
|
|
<script type="text/javascript">getQ(344, 345, 3186, 3187, 3883, 3884, 1098, 2094, 1099, 2095);</script> </div>
