Across
- 4. a mathematical expression consisting of variables, coefficients, and exponents, combined using addition, subtraction, and multiplication. It can have one or more terms.
- 5. mathematical statement that asserts the equality of two expressions. It typically contains variables, constants, and mathematical operations.
- 9. the result of adding two or more numbers or quantities.
- 11. a polynomial is the highest exponent of the variable in any of its terms. For example, the degree of a polynomial 3x^2 + 2x - 1 is 2.
- 12. form when the terms are arranged in descending order of degree.
- 14. the numerical factor multiplying a variable in a term of a polynomial.
- 15. an arithmetic operation that splits a quantity into equal parts or determines how many times one quantity is contained in another.
- 16. a symbol used to represent an unknown value in mathematics. It can take different values and is often represented by letters such as x or y.
- 18. a polynomial with two terms separated by an addition or subtraction operator.
- 21. the process of expressing a polynomial as a product of its factors, which are simpler polynomials.
- 22. term: The leading term of a polynomial is the term with the highest degree.
Down
- 1. a single part of a polynomial separated by addition or subtraction operators.
- 2. an arithmetic operation that combines two or more numbers to find their product. It is repeated addition.
- 3. a polynomial with three terms separated by addition or subtraction operators.
- 6. a value or set of values that satisfy an equation or inequality.
- 7. coefficient: The leading coefficient of a polynomial is the coefficient of the leading term.
- 8. a polynomial with only one term. It consists of a single variable raised to a non-negative integer exponent multiplied by a coefficient.
- 10. of a polynomial the highest degree among all its terms.
- 12. an arithmetic operation that finds the difference between two numbers or quantities.
- 13. an arithmetic operation that combines two or more numbers to find their sum.
- 14. a term in a polynomial that does not contain any variables. It is a fixed value.
- 17. terms: Like terms are terms in a polynomial that have the same variables raised to the same exponents. They can be combined by adding or subtracting their coefficients.
- 19. the largest number or polynomial that divides evenly into two or more numbers or polynomials.
- 20. a visual method used for multiplying two binomials or multiplying polynomials.
- 21. an acronym for First, Outer, Inner, Last. It is a method used to multiply two binomials.
