rational expression is simply a quotient of two polynomials. Or in other words, it is a fraction whose numerator and denominator are polynomials. These are examples of rational expressions: x + 5 x 2 − 4 x + 4
The domain of the rational function is all real numbers except those that make the denominator equal to zero.
A polynomial is an expression consisting of variables raised to non-negative integer powers and multiplied by coefficients which can be any real number or variable.
An algebraic expression is a combination of constants, variables, and operators such as addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*), division (÷).
An algebraic expression is formed from constants, variables, and operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponentiation, and root extraction.
A monomial is a single term with no grouping symbols like parentheses, brackets, or braces.
A binomial is a polynomial with exactly two terms.
A trinomial is an algebraic expression with three terms.
A linear equation is a first degree polynomial equation where the highest power of the variable is 1.
A quadratic equation is a second degree polynomial equation where the highest power of the variable is 2.
