  1. 2. Where the highest exponent of the variable (usually "x") is a square (^2).
  2. 3. The type of number we normally use, such as 1, 15.82, −0.1, 3/4, etc. Positive or negative, large or small, whole numbers, fractions or decimal numbers
  3. 4. a function that has either one or two variables without exponents. It is a function that graphs to the straight line.
  4. 8. A triangle of numbers where each number equals the two numbers directly above it added together (except for the edges, which are all "1").
  5. 12. A symbol written above and to the right of a mathematical expression to indicate the how many times the mathematical expression (base) should be multiplied by itself.
  6. 15. a method of subtracting polynomials by converting the signs to the opposite sign.
  7. 19. The greatest degree of its terms(the biggest exponent) or the sum of the exponents if more than one variable
  8. 21. An expression with a single term and with whole number exponents. A product of a number & a variable, A number or, A variable
  9. 22. a fourth-degree polynomial: a function which has, as its highest order term, a variable raised to the fourth power
  10. 23. how the numbers in an addition/multiplication problem are grouped doesn’t change the solution.
  11. 24. named according to the number of terms and the degree present.
  12. 26. The sum of the exponents of its variables
Down
  1. 1. the numbers written in front of the variable with the largest exponent
  2. 5. is a polynomial function of degree 3
  3. 6. number of monomials
  4. 7. highest exponent
  5. 9. summing up the like terms of two or more algebraic expressions by retaining their sign to get the result.
  6. 10. A fixed value. In Algebra, a constant is a number on its own, or sometimes a letter such as a, b or c to stand for a fixed number.
  7. 11. A polynomial with two terms.
  8. 13. a polynomial of degree 5
  9. 14. terms that have identical variable parts (same variable(s) and same exponent(s)
  10. 16. A Monomial or, The sum or difference of monomials
  11. 17. multiplying a number by a group of numbers added together is the same as doing each multiplication separately.
  12. 18. A polynomial with three terms.
  13. 20. the order in which two numbers are added/multiplied does not change the solution..
  14. 25. to find the value of the expression when the variable is replaced by a given number (plug & chug)
