Genetics Punnett Squares are diagrams used by scientists to help them to figure out how inherited traits (characteristics) will be distributed. F f Ff ff We will use something like a Punnett Square today to help us learn how to multiply polynomials!!
10.2 Multiplying Polynomials The Box Method
The Box Method 1st Create a box 2nd Multiply 3rd Combine like terms 4th Write in Standard Form
Combine like terms and write in standard form. (z – 5) (z + 3) Example 1: Place your terms in the first row and first column. z +3 Time to MULTIPLY. z2 3z z -5z -15 -5 Combine like terms and write in standard form. Answer: z2 – 2z - 15
