\textbf{P3 vocabulary}
\begin{enumerate}
\item For the polynomial $a_nx^n + a_{n-1}x^{n-1} + \dots + a_1x + a_0$ the degree is \emph{n} and the leading coefficient is \emph{a}
\item A polynomial that has all zero coefficients is called the \emph{zero polynomial}
\item A polynomial with one term is called a \emph{monomial}
\item the letters in FOIL stand for \emph{First}, \emph{Outer} \emph{Inner} \emph{Last}
\item If a polynomial cannot be factored using integer coefficients, it is called \emph{prime}
\item The polynomial $u^2 +2uv + v^2$ is called a \emph{trinomial}
