Hi Guys-So, polynomials - what are they and why the heck are you learning about them? Well, here are some links I found to help you understand polynomials. This is a big unit in Algebra so it's better to embrace learning about them than struggling all the way through! :) For this assignment #8, watch the video, click on the links and explore the websites. Then, POST about something new you learned AND something that is now clearer for you. After you have posted, leave me a comment on this assignment so I know you are done! :)

We will be using those this week!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial-This one is for you, Nick!http://www.purplemath.com/modules/polydefs.htmhttp://www.algebra-online.com/multiplying-monomials-1.htm

Something new that I have learned from using polynomials is that negative exponents cannot be polynomial terms, well part of a polynomial term. Something that is now clearer to me is multiplying polynomials vertically and horizontally. I feel that I am really catching up!!
