1. Polynomial- A monomial or sum of monomials.
2. Binomial- The sum of two monomials.
3. Trinomial- The sum of three monomials.
4. Degree of a Monomial- The sum of the exponents of all its variables.
5. Degree of a Polynomial- The greatest degree of any term in the polynomial.
6. Standard form of a Polynomial- A polynomial that is written with the terms in order from greatest degree to least degree.

8-2 None
8-3
8. FOIL method- To multiply two binomials, find the sum of the products of the first terms, the outer terms, the inner terms, and the last terms.
9. Quadratic Expression- An expression in one variable with a degree of 2 written in the form ax2+bx+c.
