Key Terms

Integer
A whole number that can be positive, negative, or zero.

Example: Examples include -3, 0, and 5.

Prime Number
A natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself.

Example: 2, 3, 5, and 7 are prime numbers.

Composite Number
A natural number greater than 1 that is not prime, meaning it has divisors other than 1 and itself.

Example: 4, 6, and 8 are composite numbers.

Factorization
The process of breaking down a number into its factors.

Example: The factorization of 12 is 2 × 2 × 3.

Polynomial
An algebraic expression consisting of variables and coefficients.

Example: 3x² + 2x + 1 is a polynomial.

Degree of a Polynomial
The highest power of the variable in a polynomial.

Example: In 4x³ + 2x², the degree is 3.
