It may help you to make a study timeline like the one below. weeks before the final: Look at previous eams and homework to determine areas I need to focus on; rework problems that were incorrect or incomplete. Make a list of all formulas I need to know for the final. Create a practice eam using problems from the book that are similar to problems from each eam. 1 week before the final: Take the practice eam and check it. For each problem I miss, find two or three similar problems and work those. Work with a friend in the class to quiz each other on formulas from my list. 1 day before the final: Make sure I have pencils and scratch paper.

5 1-1 Polynomials California Standards Preview of Algebra 1 Preparation for 10.0 Students add, subtract, multiply, and divide monomials and polynomials. Students solve multistep problems, including word problems, by using these techniques. Also covered: 7AF1. Why learn this? You can use polynomials to find the height of a firework when it eplodes. (See Eample.) Recall that a monomial is a number, variable, or a product of numbers and variables with eponents that are whole numbers. Monomials n, 3, a b 3, 7 Not monomials p.,,, g 5 EXAMPLE 1 Vocabulary polynomial bionomial trinomial degree of a polynomial Identifying Monomials Determine whether each epression is a monomial. 1 3 y 7 10y 0.3 monomial not a monomial and 7 are whole numbers. 0.3 is not a whole number. A polynomial is one monomial or the sum or difference of monomials. A simplified polynomial can be classified by the number of monomials, or terms, that it contains. A monomial has 1 term, a binomial has terms, and a trinomial has 3 terms. EXAMPLE Classifying Polynomials by the Number of Terms Classify each epression as a monomial, a binomial, a trinomial, or not a polynomial h 19.55g binomial Polynomial with terms 3 y monomial Polynomial with 1 term 6 y can be written as 1, where the not a polynomial eponent is not a whole number. 7mn m 5n trinomial Polynomial with 3 terms 590 Chapter 1 Polynomials

6 The degree of a term is the sum of the eponents of the variables in the term. The degree of a polynomial is the same as the degree of the term with the greatest degree. A polynomial can be classified by its degree. 5 y { { Degree Degree 5 Degree Degree 0 13 Degree 5 EXAMPLE 3 Classifying Polynomials by Their Degrees Find the degree of each polynomial Degree Degree 1 Degree 0 The greatest degree is, so the degree of 6 3 is. 6 3m m 5 6 3m m 5 Degree 0 Degree Degree 5 The greatest degree is 5, so the degree of 6 3m m 5 is 5. To evaluate a polynomial, substitute the given number for each variable. EXAMPLE A polynomial is an algebraic epression. For help with evaluating algebraic epressions, see Lesson 1-1. Physics Application The height in feet of a firework launched straight up into the air from s feet off the ground at velocity v after t seconds is given by the polynomial 16t vt s.

Students solve multistep problems, including word problems, by using these techniques. Also covered: 7AF1., 7AF1.3, 7AF. Why learn this? You can multiply polynomials and monomials to determine the dimensions of a planter bo. (See Eample 3.) Remember that when you multiply two powers with the same bases, you add the eponents. To multiply two monomials, multiply the coefficients and add the eponents of the variables that are the same. (5m n 3 )(6m 3 n 6 ) 5 6 m 3 n m 5 n 9 EXAMPLE 1 Multiplying Monomials Multiply. (r 3 s )(6r 5 s 6 ) 6 r 3 5 s 6 Multiply coefficients. Add eponents that r 8 s 10 have the same base. (9 y)( 3 yz 6 ) 9 3 y 1 1 z 6 Multiply coefficients. Add eponents that 18 5 y z 6 have the same base. To multiply a polynomial by a monomial, use the Distributive Property. Multiply every term of the polynomial by the monomial. EXAMPLE Multiplying a Polynomial by a Monomial Multiply. 1 (y z) 1 (y z) Multiply each term in the parentheses by 1. 1 y 1 z When multiplying a polynomial by a negative monomial, be sure to distribute the negative sign. 5a b(3a b 3 6a b 3 ) 5a b(3a b 3 6a b 3 ) Multiply each term in the parentheses 15a 6 b 30a b by 5a b. 61 Chapter 1 Polynomials

EXAMPLE 3 PROBLEM SOLVING APPLICATION Chrystelle is making a planter bo with a square base. She wants the height of the bo to be 3 inches more than the side length of the base. If she wants the volume of the bo to be 680 in 3, what should the side length of the base be? Reasoning 1. 1 Understand the Problem If the side length of the base is s, then the height is s 3. The volume is s s (s 3) s (s 3). The answer will be a value of s that makes the volume of the bo equal to 680 in Make a Plan You can make a table of values for the polynomial to try to find the value of s. Use the Distributive Property to write the epression s (s 3) another way. Use substitution to complete the table Solve s (s 3) s 3 3s Distributive Property s s 3 3s (15) (16) (17) (18) The side length of the base should be 18 inches. 1. Look Back If the side length of the base were 18 inches and the height were 3 inches more, or 1 inches, then the volume would be in 3. The answer is reasonable. Think and Discuss 1.

36 Life Science A. V. Hill ( ) was a biophysicist and pioneer in the study of how muscles work. He studied muscle contractions in frogs and came up with an equation relating the force generated by a muscle to the speed at which the muscle contracts. Hill epressed this relationship as (P a)(v b) c, where P is the force generated by the muscle, a is the force needed to make the muscle contract, V is the speed at which the muscle contracts, b is the smallest contraction rate of the muscle, and c is a constant. 1. Use the FOIL method to simplify Hill s equation.. Suppose the force a needed to make the muscle contract is approimately 1 the maimum force the muscle can generate. Use Hill s equation to write an equation for a muscle generating the maimum possible force M. Simplify the equation. 3. Write About It In Hill s equation, what happens to V as P increases?
