Multiplying PolynomialsMultiplying Polynomials requires two prerequisite skills! You must be able to apply the laws of exponents and the distributive property. The main rule that you need to remember is: When you multiply terms that contain powers: Multiply the coefficients and add the exponents!
Ok.. now let's move on! In our first example, pay close attention to how the distributive property is used. Example 1
Did notice the distributive property? As we distributed the term, we multiplied the coefficients and added the exponents of like bases. That was a pretty easy example! Let's look at a problem that's a little more complex. Example 2
This skill isn't too hard if you know the laws of exponents and know how to use the distributive property. Now it's your turn to try one!
