Expressions that are products of numbers, variables, and their degrees are called
monomials. Expressions that are sums or differences of two or more monomials are called
polynomials. A polynomial where there are no similar monomials, is called the
polynomial in standard form. A
degree of a monomial is the sum of powers of its variables. Degree of
is 2+3=5. A
degree of a polynomial is the maximum degree of its monomials. Degree of
is 4. When submitting questions to tutors, use the caret symbol ^ to denote powers. x^2 means x squared.
