Illustrating Polynomial Equations

Let us start this lesson by recalling the linear and quadratic equation. The
knowledge and skills in doing this activity will help you a lot in understanding
polynomial equation. As you go over to this lesson, you will be able to identify
a polynomial equation and represent it in different ways.

PLAY AND LEARN!

Directions: Read and follow the steps below.

STEPS:
1. Choose any number.
2. Multiply your number by a constant 3.
3. Add the sum of your number and 8 to the number you got
when you multiplied.
4. Divide by the sum of your number and 2.
5. The answer is always 4.

Let’s Try This!

1. Choose 5 Let x = 5
2. Multiply 5 by 3 → 5x3=15 x (3) = 3x
3. Add (5+8) + 15 =28 (X+8) + 3x = 4x+8
4. Divide 28 by (5+2) → 28 ÷ 7 = 4 4x+8 the value of
x+2
X=4

`
Did you enjoy the activity? Try another one if you have time, you just follow
the steps above. The expression (4x + 8) and (x + 2) at the right of the table
describes a polynomial.
From the previous modules, you have learned how to derive a polynomial
equation by finding the product of two terms or just one term. Fundamental
Theorem of Algebra states that any polynomial equation of degree n has n
roots. A polynomial equation has several types such as:
Linear Equations
A linear equation is any equation that can be written in the form. ax+b=0.
where a and b are real numbers and x is a variable
Example: 2x + 1= 0
Quadratic Equations
Any equation that can be rearranged in standard form as ax 2 + bx + c = 0,
where x represents an unknown, and a, b, and c represent known numbers,
where a ≠ 0.
Example: 5x2 + 2x + 1 = 0
Cubic Equations
An equation whose highest degree is three. By the fundamental theorem of
algebra, cubic equation always has 3 roots, some of which might be equal.
Example: x3 + 2x2 + x +4 = 0
Polynomial Equations
Polynomial equation is expressed in the form of an(xn). Here a is the
coefficient, x is the variable and n is the exponent.
Example: x4 + x3 + 2x2 + x +4
Other polynomials equations with larger degrees.
Example: x20 – 1= 0
Observe that the different types presented is in the form of
a0 xn + a1 xn-1 +...+ an-2 x2 + an-1 x + an.

Therefore, a polynomial must NOT have the following:

 Negative exponent
 Variable in the denominator
 Fractional exponent

Some examples are shown below.

`
Examples Polynomial /NOT Reasons
Polynomial
1. x+2 = y Polynomial Linear Equation
2𝑥+1

2. 𝑥 denominator
3. y -3 + y + 2 = 0 NOT Polynomial It has a negative exponent.
4. √x – 5 = 0 NOT Polynomial The exponent of x is ½
5. ½ x2 - 1 = 0 Polynomial Quadratic/ Binomial
Equation

polynomial equation for more information.

WHAT MAKES ME TRUE?

Directions: Determine whether each expression is a polynomial or NOT.
1. x2 + 2x + 1 = 0 _________________________

2. 5x3 + =0 ________________________

3. 5x -2 +5=0 ________________________

4. 10x + 2x + 1 = 0 ________________________

5. -x2 + 10 = 0 ________________________

polynomials?

What’s New

Let’s explore!

Based on Mendel’s experiment in genetic breeding, certain traits result from

the pairing of two genes, one from the male parent and one from the female.
We can use expressions to summarize the possible outcomes of an
experiment. For example, suppose a white gumamela flower has a genotype
WW, a red gumamela flower has a genotype RR, and a pink gumamela flower
has a genotype WR Each letter represents one of two genes that make up the
characteristics.
The two bred flowers offspring can be expressed using an algebra model called
a Punnet square.

`
 R
RW RR
PARENT # 1

WW WR
W

W R

PARENT # 2
The sum of the possible results for four offspring can be written as WW + WR
+ WR + RR; that is, one white, two pink and one red-gumamela flower.

Suppose we substitute x for W and y for R. The result would be a sum of four
monomials, xx + xy + xy + yy, or x2 +2xy + y2. The two monomials xy and xy
can be combined because they are like terms. Like terms are two monomials
with same variable and degree, and differs only in numerical coefficients.

The expression x2 + 2xy + y2 is called a polynomial. A polynomial is a

monomial or a sum of monomials. A polynomial must be in the form of a 0 xn
+ a1 xn-1 +……..+ an-2 x2 + an-1 x + an.

Polynomial Equations.

MATCH ME WITH MY EQUATIONS?

Directions: Refer to the previous presentation on types of Polynomial
Equations in this LAS in order to answer the following activity. Put the letter
of the given equation in the diagram below where you think it belongs.

a. X5 - X4 –X + 2 = 0 f. ½ X2 –X + 2 = 0 k. x3 +3x2+2x+3 = 0

b. 5X3 + 3X2 – X + 1 = 0 g. 5X2 –2X + 3 = 0 l. 5X5 – 3 = 0

c. ¾ X + 5 = 0 h. 2X4 - 1 = 0 m. -x2 + 5 = 0

d. 7X3 + 4X -12 = 0 i. 5X – 3 = 0 n. 4x2 - 8 = 0

`
e.-2X3 + 7X – 2 = 0 j. X20 – 1 = 0 o. X100 – 1 = 0

In the activity you have just done, were you able to identify different types of
polynomial equations? Were you able to describe each type? These equations
have common characteristics and you will learn more of these in the succeeding
activities in the next session.
