Practice Polynomials in Math
Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.
Quick Recap
An expression built by adding terms that consist of constants multiplied by variables raised to non-negative integer powers.
A sum of terms like 3x^2 + 2x - 5. The highest power is the degree.
Example 1
easyWhat is the degree of the polynomial 4x^3 - 2x^2 + x - 7?
Example 2
mediumAdd the polynomials (3x^2 + 2x - 5) and (x^2 - 4x + 3).
Example 3
mediumMultiply (2x + 3)(x^2 - x + 4).
Example 4
easyClassify 5x^4 - x + 2 by degree and number of terms.
Example 5
mediumSubtract (2x^3 - x + 4) from (5x^3 + 3x^2 - 2).
