Section 5.7 Exponents and Polynomials Chapter Review
¶Subsection 5.7.1 Adding and Subtracting Polynomials
In Section 5.1 we covered the definitions of a polynomial, a coefficient of a term, the degree of a term, the degree of a polynomial, theleading term of a polynomial, a constant term, monomials, binomials, and trinomials, and how to write a polynomial in standard form.
Example 5.7.1. Polynomial Vocabulary.
Decide if the following statements are true or false.
The expression \(\frac{3}{5}x^2-\frac{1}{5}x^7+\frac{x}{2}-4\) is a polynomial.
The expression \(4x^6-3x^{-2}-x+1\) is a polynomial.
The degree of the polynomial \(\frac{3}{5}x^2-\frac{1}{5}x^7+\frac{x}{2}-4\) is \(10\text{.}\)
The degree of the term \(5x^2y^4\) is \(6\text{.}\)
The leading coefficient of \(\frac{3}{5}x^2-\frac{1}{5}x^7+\frac{x}{2}-4\) is \(\frac{3}{5}\text{.}\)
There are 4 terms in the polynomial \(\frac{3}{5}x^2-\frac{1}{5}x^7+\frac{x}{2}-4\text{.}\)
The polynomial \(\frac{3}{5}x^2-\frac{1}{5}x^7+\frac{x}{2}-4\) is in standard form.
True. The expression \(\frac{3}{5}x^2-\frac{1}{5}x^7+\frac{x}{2}-4\) is a polynomial.
False. The expression \(4x^6-3x^{-2}-x+1\) is not a polynomial. Variables are only allowed to have whole number exponents in polynomials and the second term has a \(-2\) exponent.
False. The degree of the polynomial \(\frac{3}{5}x^2-\frac{1}{5}x^7+\frac{x}{2}-4\) is not \(10\text{.}\) It is \(7\text{,}\) which is the highest power of any variable in the expression.
True. The degree of the term \(5x^2y^4\) is \(6\text{.}\)
False. The leading coefficient of \(\frac{3}{5}x^2-\frac{1}{5}x^7+\frac{x}{2}-4\) is not \(\frac{3}{5}\text{.}\)The leading coefficient comes from the degree \(7\) term which is \(-\frac{1}{5}\text{.}\)
True. There are 4 terms in the polynomial \(\frac{3}{5}x^2-\frac{1}{5}x^7+\frac{x}{2}-4\text{.}\)
False. The polynomial \(\frac{3}{5}x^2-\frac{1}{5}x^7+\frac{x}{2}-4\) is not in standard form. The exponents have to be written from highest to lowest, i.e. \(-\frac{1}{5}x^7+\frac{3}{5}x^2+\frac{x}{2}-4\text{.}\)
Example 5.7.2. Adding and Subtracting Polynomials.
Simplify the expression \(\left(\frac{2}{9}x-4x^2-5\right)+\left(6x^2-\frac{1}{6}x-3\right)\text{.}\)
First identify like terms and group them either physically or mentally. Then we will look for common denominators for these like terms and combine appropriately.
Subsection 5.7.2 Introduction to Exponent Rules
In Section 5.2 we covered the rules of exponents for multiplication.
Rules of Exponents.
Let \(x,\) and \(y\) represent real numbers, variables, or algebraic expressions, and let \(m\) and \(n\) represent positive integers . Then the following properties hold:
- Product of Powers
\(x^m\cdot x^n=x^{m+n}\)
- Power to Power
\((x^m)^n=x^{m\cdot n}\)
- Product to Power
\((xy)^n = x^n\cdot y^n\)
Example 5.7.3.
Simplify the following expressions using the rules of exponents:
\(-2t^3\cdot 4t^5\)
\(5\left(v^4\right)^2\)
\(-(3u)^2\)
\((-3z)^2\)
\(-2t^3\cdot 4t^5=-8t^8\)
\(5\left(v^4\right)^2=5v^8\)
\(-(3u)^2=-9u^2\)
\((-3z)^2=9z^2\)
Subsection 5.7.3 Dividing by a Monomial
In Section 5.3 we covered how you can split a fraction up into multiple terms if there is a sum or difference in the numerator. Mathematically, this happens using the rule \(\frac{a+b}{c}=\frac{a}{c}+\frac{b}{c}\text{.}\) This formula can be used for any number of terms in the numerator, and for both sums and differences.
Example 5.7.4.
Simplify the expression \(\frac{12x^5+2x^3-4x^2}{4x^2}\text{.}\)
Subsection 5.7.4 Multiplying Polynomials
In Section 5.4 we covered how to multiply two polynomials together using distribution, FOIL, and generic rectangles.
Example 5.7.5. Multiplying Binomials.
Expand the expression \((5x-6)(3+2x)\) using the binomial multiplication method of your choice: distribution, FOIL, or generic rectangles.
We will show work using the FOIL method.
Example 5.7.6. Multiplying Polynomials Larger than Binomials.
Expand the expression \((3x-2)\left(4x^2-2x+5\right)\) by multiplying every term in the first factor with every term in the second factor.
\(\begin{aligned}[t]\amp(\firsthighlight{3x}\mathbin{\secondhighlight{-}}\mathbin{\secondhighlight{2}})\left(4x^2-2x+5\right)\\ \amp=\firsthighlight{3x}\cdot4x^2+\firsthighlight{3x}\cdot(-2x)+\firsthighlight{3x}\cdot5+(\mathbin{\secondhighlight{-}}\mathbin{\secondhighlight{2}})\cdot4x^2+(\mathbin{\secondhighlight{-}}\mathbin{\secondhighlight{2}})\cdot(-2x)+(\mathbin{\secondhighlight{-}}\mathbin{\secondhighlight{2}})\cdot5\\ \amp=12x^3-6x^2+15x-8x^2+4x-10\\ \amp=12x^3-14x^2+19x-10\end{aligned}\)
Subsection 5.7.5 Special Cases of Multiplying Polynomials
In Section 5.5 we covered how to square a binomial and how to find the product of the sum or difference of two terms.
Example 5.7.7. Squaring a Binomial.
Recall that Fact 5.5.3 gives formulas that help square a binomial.
Simplify the expression \((2x+3)^2\text{.}\)
Remember that you can use FOIL to do these problems, but in the interest of understanding concepts at a higher level for use in later chapters, we will use the relevant formula from Fact 5.5.3. In this case, since we have a sum of two terms being squared, we will use \((a+b)^2 = a^2+2ab+b^2\text{.}\)
First identify \(\firsthighlight{a}\) and \(\secondhighlight{b}\text{.}\) In this case, \(\highlight{a=2x}\) and \(\secondhighlight{b=3}\text{.}\) So, we have:
Example 5.7.8. The Product of the Sum and Difference of Two Terms.
Recall that Fact 5.5.13 gives a formula to help multiply things that look like \((a+b)(a-b)\text{.}\)
Simplify the expression \((7x+4)(7x-4)\text{.}\)
Remember that you can use FOIL to do these problems, but in the interest of understanding concepts at a higher level for use in later chapters, we will use the formula from Fact 5.5.13. In this case, that means we will use \((a+b)(a-b) = a^2-b^2\text{.}\)
First identify \(\firsthighlight{a}\) and \(\secondhighlight{b}\text{.}\) In this case, \(\firsthighlight{a=7x}\) and \(\secondhighlight{b=4}\text{.}\) So, we have:
Example 5.7.9. Binomials Raised to Other Powers.
To raise binomials to powers higher than \(2\text{,}\) we start by expanding the expression and multiplying all factors together from left to right.
Expand the expression \((2x-5)^3\text{.}\)
Subsection 5.7.6 More Exponent Rules
In Section 5.6 we covered the exponent rules and how to use them.
Example 5.7.10. Quotients and Exponents.
Let \(t\) and \(q\) be real numbers, where \(q \neq 0\) and \(t \neq 0\text{.}\) Find another way to write \(\left(\frac{q^9}{t\cdot q^3}\right)^2\text{.}\)
We first use the Quotient Rule, then the Quotient to a Power Rule, then the Power to a Power Rule.
Example 5.7.11. The Zero Exponent.
Recall that the Zero Exponent Rule says that any real number raised to the \(0\)-power is \(1\text{.}\) Using this, and the other exponent rules, find another way to write \(-9^0\text{.}\)
Remember that in expressions like \(-9^0\text{,}\) the exponent only applies to what it is directly next to! In this case, the \(0\) only applies to the \(9\) and not the negative sign. So,
Example 5.7.12. Negative Exponents.
Write \(5x^{-3}\) without any negative exponents.
Recall that the Negative Exponent Rule says that a factor in the numerator with a negative exponent can be flipped into the denominator. So
Note that the \(5\) does not move to the denominator because the \(-3\) exponent only applies to the \(x\) to which it is directly attached.
Example 5.7.13. Summary of Exponent Rules.
Use the exponent rules in List 5.6.13 to write the expressions in a different way. Reduce and simplify when possible. Always find a way to write your final simplification without any negative exponents.
\(\dfrac{24p^3}{20p^{12}}\)
\(\left(\dfrac{2v^5}{4g^{-2}}\right)^4\)
\(12n^7\left(m^0\cdot n^2\right)^2\)
\(\dfrac{k^5}{k^{-4}}\)
\(\begin{aligned}[t] \frac{24p^3}{20p^{12}}\amp=\frac{24}{20}\cdot\frac{p^3}{p^{12}}\\ \amp=\frac{6}{5}\cdot p^{3-12}\\ \amp=\frac{6}{5}\cdot p^{-9}\\ \amp=\frac{6}{5}\cdot\frac{1}{p^9}\\ \amp=\frac{6}{5p^9}\end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned}[t] \left(\frac{2v^5}{4g^{-2}}\right)^4\amp=\left(\frac{v^5}{2g^{-2}}\right)^4\\ \amp=\left(\frac{v^5g^2}{2}\right)^4\\ \amp=\frac{v^{5\cdot4}g^{2\cdot4}}{2^4}\\ \amp=\frac{v^{20}g^{8}}{16}\end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned}[t] \amp12n^7\left(m^0\cdot n^2\right)^2\\ \amp=12n^7\left(1\cdot n^2\right)^2\\ \amp=12n^7\left(n^2\right)^2\\ \amp=12n^7n^{2\cdot 2}\\ \amp=12n^7n^4\\ \amp=12n^{7+4}\\ \amp=12n^{11}\end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned}[t] \frac{k^5}{k^{-4}}\amp=k^5\cdot k^{4}\\ \amp=k^{5+4}\\ \amp=k^9\end{aligned}\)
