1. 7ab + 6b – 2a
3
SOLUTION: 2
3
A polynomial is a monomial or the sum of monomials. 7ab + 6b – 2a is the sum of 3 monomials, so it is a
polynomial. The degree of a polynomial is the greatest degree of any term in the polynomial.The degree of each term is 2, 2, and
2
3
3, so the degree of 7ab + 6b – 2a is 3. The polynomial has three terms, so it is a trinomial.
2. 2y – 5 + 3y
2
SOLUTION: 2
2y – 5 + 3y is the sum of monomials, so it is a polynomial. The degree of a polynomial is the greatest degree of any term in the polynomial. The degree of each term is 1, 0, and
2
2, so the degree of 2y – 5 + 3y is 2. The polynomial has three terms, so it is a trinomial.
3. 3x
2
SOLUTION: 2
A polynomial is a monomial or the sum of monomials, so 3x is a polynomial. 2
The degree of a polynomial is the greatest degree of any term in the polynomial. The degree of 3x is 2. The
polynomial has one term, so it is a monomial.
4. SOLUTION: A monomial is a number, a variable, or the product of a number and one or more variables with nonnegative integer
exponents. It has
only one term. is a division of two monomials, so it is not a monomial.

5. 5m p + 6
SOLUTION: 2 3
A polynomial is a monomial or the sum of monomials. 5m p + 6 is the sum of 2 monomials, so it is a polynomial. The degree of a polynomial is the greatest degree of any term in the polynomial. The degree of each term is 5 and 0,
2 3
so the degree of 5m p + 6 is 5. The polynomial has two terms, so it is a binomial.

Determine how many people attended National Conference football games in 2009.
SOLUTION: Let x = 7 represent 2009, then find how many people attended a National Conference football game in 2009.
In 2009 the number of people who attended National Conference football games was about 8829 thousand.
Multiply by 1000 to find the attendance in standard form. 8829 ×1000 = 8,829,000.
So, about 8,829,000 people attended National Conference football games in 2009.

c. If a car is driven 105 miles each day for four days, how much would it cost to rent a car?
d. If a car is driven 220 miles each day for seven days, how much would it cost to rent a car?
SOLUTION: a. The cost to rent a car is the daily rate and the mileage cost or 15 + 0.15m.
b. Substitute 145 for m to find the daily cost to drive 145 miles.
The cost to rent the car would be $36.75.
c. The expression represents the cost per day. For 4 days, multiply the entire expression by 4 to find the cost for a 4
day trip. Substitute 105 for m.
The cost to rent the car would be $123.
d. The expression represents the cost per day. For 7 days, multiply the entire expression by 7 to find the cost for a 7
day trip. Substitute 220 for m.
The cost to rent the car would be $336.

c. Graphical On a coordinate system, graph the area of rectangle 4 in terms of the length, x. Use the graph to
determine the largest area possible.
d. Analytical Determine the length and width that produce the largest area.
SOLUTION: a. For the perimeters to be 400, create lengths and widths that sum to 200. Note that some lengths are already
provided in the table in part b.
b. The area is length multiplied by width. Make sure the units are squared for area.
The sum of the length and width must be 200, so if the length is x, the width must be 200 – x.
c. The length will be the x-values on the horizontal and the area will be the y-values on the vertical. The length
cannot pass 200 since the sum of the length and width is 200. Set the intervals for the x-axis to 25 feet. Extend the
table of values to find more points to plot on the graph. It appears that 10,000 is the greatest area, so set the intervals

inverse. Sebastian did not distribute the negate to the 3rd terms when he found the additive inverse. To find the additive
inverse,

62. REASONING Determine whether each of the following statements is true or false . Explain your reasoning.
a. A binomial can have a degree of zero.
b. The order in which polynomials are subtracted does not matter.
SOLUTION: a. If a binomial has two terms that are each a degree of 0, then those terms can be combined and the binomial
becomes a monomial.
For example, 18 + 7 = 25. If one of the terms of the binomial does not have a degree of 0, then the binomial cannot have a degree of 0, since
the degree of a polynomial is the greatest degree of any term in the polynomial.
b. Subtraction is not commutative. While 2 + 5 = 5 + 2, 2 – 5 ≠ 5 – 2. This is also true for polynomials.
Sample answer: (2x – 3) – (4x – 3) = –2x, but (4x – 3) – (2x – 3) = 2x

SOLUTION: 65. WRITING IN MATH Describe how to add and subtract polynomials using both the vertical and horizontal
formats. SOLUTION: To add polynomials in a horizontal format, you combine like terms. For the vertical format, you write the polynomials
in standard form, align like terms in columns, and combine like terms. To subtract polynomials in a horizontal format you find the additive inverse of the polynomial you are subtracting, and
then combine like terms. For the vertical format, you write the polynomials in standard form, align like terms in
columns, and subtract by adding the additive inverse.
