Multiplying Monomials


Before you begin reading this lesson on Multiplying Monomials, please make sure that you've read the lesson on laws of exponents and monomials.

These two lessons will definitely be needed in order to understand how to multiply monomials!


When you multiply monomials, you will need to perform two steps:

  • Multiply the coefficients (constants)
  • Multiply the variables.
  • Let's look at a few examples.

    Each line of these examples shows a different step. I broke it down step by step for you to see the exact process. You will be able to do alot of this work mentally, which I will show you later on. I wanted you to understand each step, that's why these explanations are so long!

    Example 1

    Example 2

    One more example, but this time I'm not going to show each individual step. As you master this skill, this is the way in which you will multiply monomials! It's actually pretty quick!

    What People Are Saying...

    Dear Karin,

    I am a homeschool mom of five who struggled with finding a solid algebra program for my older boys until I came upon your algebra class. Your tutorials are straight forward and detailed. Your assignments are designed in such a way that we can spend extra time on what my children need to and move on when they understand something more easily.

    I am a math-lover myself and am excited that you have finished part 2 of this course. My boys are understanding algebra in a way that they never were able to with other courses due to the detail and care that are in each of your lessons. I also appreciate that you are available to answer questions.

    Thank you,

    Jacqui Coleman



    Dear Karin,

    Finding your site was such a blessing to me! I have been out of school for 13+ years and finding out that my next course would be Algebra scared me to death!

    I have now found a new love of learning for algebra--something I never thought would happen. After indulging in the section of functions, I decided to explore other areas that I have just learned. It made areas such as inequalities and graphing so much easier to grasp!

    I just wanted to thank you for your passion and dedication for helping others! I also love the fact that you add in some humor, too. I have shared your site with classmates and hope they take an opportunity to look into it as well! Thank you----

    With greatest respect,

    Dani



    Hi Karin,

    I just spent 3 hours doing Unit 5 Lessons 1 & 2 because that is what I am learning at school this week, and cannot believe my progress. I so wish I would have found your course sooner. It is amazing. You explain everything in such clarity it's like night and day. Thank you so much for getting me started. I am so happy you can't believe it. You are the best instructor ever!

    Thanks again.

    Joe
