AA Section 11-2

The document discusses polynomials and their properties. It begins with an example of finding the volume and surface area of a box given its dimensions. Next, it defines different types of polynomials based on the number of terms: monomial (one term), binomial (two terms), trinomial (three terms), and polynomials with many terms. It then discusses the degree of a polynomial in multiple variables as being the largest sum of the exponents. Finally, it provides examples of expanding polynomials and finding a polynomial to represent the volume of an open box given cardboard dimensions and a cut out size.
