| Binomial | A polynomial with two terms. |
| Cross Method | Factoring a polynomial with three terms with an a-value not 1 into two binomials by finding two numbers that will multiply to get ac and combine to b. |
| Degree of a Monomial | The sum of the exponents of the variables in a monomial. |
| Degree of a Polynomial | The greatest degree of the terms in a polynomial. |
| Difference of Two Cubes | Two perfect cubes seperated by a subtraction sign that can be factored into the product of a binomial and trinomial pattern. |
| Difference of Two Squares | Two perfect squares seperated by a subtraction sign that can be factored into the product of a sum and a difference. |
| Factor by Grouping | Factoring a polynomial with four terms by factoring a common monomial factor from a pair of terms, then looking for a common binomial factor. |
| Factor Completely | Factoring a polynomial until it is written as a product of unfactorable polynomials with integer coefficients. |
| FOIL Method | Method of multiplying binomials by adding the products of the first, outer, inner and last. |
| Greatest Common Factor | Factoring a polynomial by finding the largest monomial that will go into each term evenly. |
| Leading Coefficient | The coeffecient of the first term in a polynomial that is written with the exponents of a variable decreasing from left to right. |
| Monomial | A number, a variable, or the product of a number and one or more variables with whole number exponents. |
| Pacal's triangle | A way to find coefficients in binomial expansions (a + b)^n where n is a positive integer. |
| Pefect Square Trinomial | A trinomial where the first and last terms are perfect squares and the middle term is twice the product of their square roots. It will factor int the square of a binomial. |
| Polynomial | A monomial or a sum of monomials. |
| Roots | The solutions of an equation in which one side is zero and the other side is a product of polynomial factors. |
| Shortcut Method | Factoring a polynomial with three terms with an a-value of 1 into two binomials by finding two numbers that will multiply to get c and combine to b. |
| Sum of Two Cubes | Two perfect cubes seperated by an addition sign that can be factored into the product of a binomial and trinomial pattern. |
| Trinomial | A polynomial with three terms. |
| Vertical Motion Model | a model that describes the height of a projectile. |
