Univariate Polynomial
1. Solve Exercise 1 Page 31 Math Textbook Grade 7
Problem: Identify which of the following expressions is a univariate polynomial.
Solution:
A univariate polynomial is an algebraic expression containing only a number, a variable, or a product of numbers and that variable.
Answer:
Expressions a, c, and d are univariate polynomials.
Expression b is not a univariate polynomial.
2. Solve Exercise 2 Page 31 Math Textbook Grade 7
Problem: Identify which of the following expressions is a univariate polynomial.
Solution:
A univariate polynomial is the sum of monomials with the same variable.
A univariate monomial is also a univariate polynomial.
Answer:
Expressions A, B, M, N are univariate polynomials.
Expression Q is not a univariate polynomial.
3. Solving Exercise 3 Page 32 Math Textbook Grade 7
Problem: Determine the degrees of the following polynomials:
Solution:
The degree of a single-variable polynomial (different from a constant polynomial, which is already simplified) is the highest power of the variable in that polynomial.
Answer:
4. Solving Exercise 4 Page 32 Math Textbook Grade 7
Problem: Determine the coefficient and variable part of each polynomial:
Answer:
5. Solve Exercise 5 Page 32 Math Textbook Grade 7
Solution:
Simplify the polynomial by grouping terms with the same variable part and arranging polynomials in decreasing order of variable exponent.
Answer:
6. Solve Exercise 6 Page 32 Math Textbook Grade 7
Solution:
+ Simplify the polynomial by grouping terms with the same variable part and arrange polynomials in decreasing order of variable exponent.
+ The degree of a single-variable polynomial (different from a constant polynomial, already written in simplified form) is the highest power of the variable in that polynomial.
Answer:
+ Simplify the polynomial P(x):
+ The coefficient of the cubic term is -9.
The coefficient of the quadratic term is -1.
The coefficient of the linear term is -8.
7. Solve Exercise 7 Page 32 Math Textbook Grade 7
Problem: Calculate the values of the following polynomials:
Solution:
+ Substitute x = 2 into the expression P(x) and then calculate the value of the expression.
+ Substitute y = 3 into the expression Q(y) and then calculate the value of the expression.
Answer:
8. Solve Exercise 8 Page 32 Math Textbook Grade 7
Solution:
+ The degree of a single-variable polynomial (different from a constant polynomial, already written in simplified form) is the highest power of the variable in that polynomial.
+ Substitute t = 4 into the polynomial M(t) and then calculate the value of the polynomial.
Answer:
9. Solve Exercise 9 Page 32 Math Textbook Grade 7
Solution:
If the polynomial P(x) evaluates to 0 at x = a, then we say a (or x = a) is a root of that polynomial.
Answer:
10. Solve Exercise 10 Page 32 Math Textbook Grade 7
Solution:
If the polynomial P(x) evaluates to 0 at x = a, then we say a (or x = a) is a root of that polynomial.
Answer:
11. Solve Exercise 11 Page 32 Math Textbook Grade 7
12. Solve Exercise 12 Page 32 Math Textbook Grade 7
Problem: A kayak is moving with a velocity v = 16 + 2t (v in meters/second, t in seconds). Calculate the velocity of the kayak when t = 5.
Solution:
Substitute t = 5 into the expression v = 16 + 2t and then calculate the value of the expression.
Answer:
The speed of the kayak at t = 5 is:
v = 16 + 2(5) = 26.
