Algebra 2 Companion Book, Volume 2

6.1 Review Worksheet, Part 1

6.1.1 Polynomials Identify the degree of each monomial. 1. x 8 2. 6 x 3 y

3. 8

4. a 4 b 6 c 3

Rewrite each polynomial in standard form. Then identify the leading coefficient, degree, and number of terms. Name the polynomial. 5. 3 x 3 + 2 x 4 − 7 x + x 2 6. 6 x − 4 x 4 + 5 7

7. 2 x 3 + 10 x − 9

8. 3 x 2 + 2 x 6 − 4 x 4 − 1

9.  The distance d , in centimeters, that a diving board bends below its resting position when you stand at its end is dependent on your distance x , in meters, from the stabilized point. This relationship can be modeled by the function d ( x ) = − 4 x 3 + x 2 . a. Evaluate d ( x ) for x = 1 and x = 2.

b. Describe what the values d (1) and d (2) represent.

6.1.2 Adding and Subtracting Polynomials Add or subtract. Write your answer in standard form. 10. (15 x 2 − 3 x + 11) + (2 x 3 − x 2 + 6 x + 1)

11. (12 x − 1 + 2 x 2 ) + ( x 2 + 4)

12. (3 x 2 − 5 x ) − ( − 4 + x 2 + x )

13. ( x 2 − 3 x + 7) − (6 x 2 + 4 x + 12)
