1 Skills Practice Skills Practice for Lesson 10.1 Name Date Water Balloons Polynomials and Polynomial Functions Vocabulary Match each key term to its corresponding definition. 1. A polynomial written with the terms in descending order, starting with the term with the greatest degree and ending with the term with the least degree. 2. In a polynomial in one variable, it is the exponent of that variable with the largest numerical value. a. polynomial b. term An expression that consists of a single term that is either a constant, a variable, or a product of a constant and one or more variables. It is a polynomial with one term. c. coefficient 4. A method of determining whether an equation is a function. It states that an equation is a function if you can pass a vertical line through any part of the graph of the equation and the line intersects the graph at most one time. d. degree 5. A polynomial with exactly two terms. e. monomial 6. The number multiplying one or more variables in a term. 7. The parts of a polynomial that are added. They may be a number, a variable, or a product of a number and a variable (or variables). 8. An expression of the form a 0 a 1 x a 2 x 2... a n x n, where the coefficients (a 0, a 1, a 2,...) are real numbers or complex numbers and the exponents are non-negative integers. f. binomial g. trinomial h. standard form 9.
