[Chorus]

P-O-L-Y-N-O-M-I-A-L-S

Get an A or else

Mama said it, so I know I gotta get it

Or I’mma have to go to intersession in a minute

P-O-L-Y-N-O-M-I-A-L-S

Get an A or else

Mama said it, so I know I gotta get it

Or I’mma have to go to intersession in a minute


[Verse 1]

So let me tell you what I’ve learned (Learned)

A polynomial with only one term is a monomial (Term, uh)

And there are several degrees

A cubic’s to the power of 3, a quadratic power of 2 (Three)

A linear power is 1, constant power is none

You should be proud of your son, and your daughter too (Woo! Uh-huh)

‘Causе you know a binomial has not one term but two

And a trinomial has a few (Fеw)

It’s hard work going to school day in and day out (School)

I hear tuck in your shirt, but it stays out

I know the rules, but I can’t conform

But I do know how to write a polynomial in standard form (Yeah)

Write the terms in descending order (Yeah)

The largest exponent to the smallest exponent (Uh-huh, woo!)

The next test is an easy opponent


[Chorus]

P-O-L-Y-N-O-M-I-A-L-S

Get an A or else

Mama said it, so I know I gotta get it

Or I’mma have to go to intersession in a minute

P-O-L-Y-N-O-M-I-A-L-S

Get an A or else

Mama said it, so I know I gotta get it

Or I’mma have to go to intersession in a minute


[Verse 2]

I was taught how to add back in grade school

I started off with one’s and two’s (One’s and two’s)

That was easy for me, but now it’s quantities that I’m adding up (Adding up)

(3x² + 2x – 1) + (2x³ + x) (One)

What’s next? You got the sum (Uh)

2x³ + 3x² + 3x – 1, easy, huh? (- 1, uh-huh)

Just distribute the sign, combine like terms (Sign, terms)

With subtraction

The only difference is you find the difference (Woo!)

I pay attention, that’s why I know so much (Much!)

When the school bell rings, my mind opens up (My mind opens up)

Like a positive quadratic, I love mathematics (Quadratic, math)

I missed a few homeworks and that’s a bad habit

I’m gonna make them up, ‘cause I wanna pass (Pass)

I gotta get an A in this class


[Chorus]

P-O-L-Y-N-O-M-I-A-L-S

Get an A or else

Mama said it, so I know I gotta get it

Or I’mma have to go to intersession in a minute

P-O-L-Y-N-O-M-I-A-L-S

Get an A or else

Mama said it, so I know I gotta get it

Or I’mma have to go to intersession in a minute
