Warm Up Simplify the expression by using distributive property and then combining like terms. x(x + 5) + 4(x + 5)
10.2 Multiplying Polynomials Algebra 1 10.2 Multiplying Polynomials
Take a look at our warm up x(x + 5) + 4(x + 5)
Use the Distributive Property to find the product (x + 1)(x + 2) (x – 2)(x + 4) (2x + 1)(x + 2)
F O I L
Use the FOIL method to find the product. (x + 1)( x – 4) (2x – 3)(x – 1) (x – 2)(2x + 1)
Multiplying Polynomials To multiply two polynomials that have three or more terms, remember that each term of one polynomial must be multiplied by each term of the other polynomial. Vertical Format Horizontal Format
Vertical Format (x + 1)(x2 + 3x – 2)
Horizontal Format (x – 4)(x2 + x + 1)
Find the product of the polynomials (x + 5)(x2 – x – 3) (2x – 1)(2x2 + x – 3) (3x2 + x – 4)(2x – 3)
