9-2 Multiplying and Factoring Monomials
Multiplying by a Monomial We have already multiplied a number by a polynomial. 5(3x2 + 6x – 7) Distribute! 15x2
Multiplying by a Monomial We have already multiplied a number by a polynomial. 5(3x2 + 6x – 7) Distribute! 15x2 + 30x
Multiplying by a Monomial We have already multiplied a number by a polynomial. 5(3x2 + 6x – 7) Distribute! 15x2 + 30x – 35 Nothing changes just because we added variables.
Multiplying by a Monomial We have already multiplied a number by a polynomial. 5(3x2 + 6x – 7) Distribute! 15x2 + 30x – 35 Nothing changes just because we added variables. 3x2(2x2 – 5x + 1)
Multiplying by a Monomial We have already multiplied a number by a polynomial. 5(3x2 + 6x – 7) Distribute! 15x2 + 30x – 35 Nothing changes just because we added variables. 3x2(2x2 – 5x + 1) 6x4

Finding Your “Good Close Friend” When trying to simplify a polynomial, finding your GCF (greatest common factor) is your first line of defense. 10x4 – 5x2 +15 What is “common” to all 3 terms? 5 So, we take out the common thing. 5(

Finding Your “Good Close Friend” When trying to simplify a polynomial, finding your GCF (greatest common factor) is your first line of defense. 10x4 – 5x2 +15 What is “common” to all 3 terms? 5 So, we take out the common thing. 5(2x4 – x2
Finding Your “Good Close Friend” When trying to simplify a polynomial, finding your GCF (greatest common factor) is your first line of defense. 10x4 – 5x2 +15 What is “common” to all 3 terms? 5 So, we take out the common thing. 5(2x4 – x2 + 3) This is called the “factored form”
Finding Your “Good Close Friend” 3x4 + 9x2 +12x What is “common” to all 3 terms? 3x So, we take out the common thing. 3x(
Finding Your “Good Close Friend” 3x4 + 9x2 +12x What is “common” to all 3 terms? 3x So, we take out the common thing. 3x(x3
Finding Your “Good Close Friend” 3x4 + 9x2 +12x What is “common” to all 3 terms? 3x So, we take out the common thing. 3x(x3 + 3x
Finding Your “Good Close Friend” 3x4 + 9x2 +12x What is “common” to all 3 terms? 3x So, we take out the common thing. 3x(x3 + 3x +4)
Example #1 Multiply: 3x2(-8x + 2)
Example #1 Multiply: 3x2(-8x + 2) = -24x3
Example #1 Multiply: 3x2(-8x + 2) = -24x3 + 6x2
Example #2 Factor: 4x3 – 2x2
Example #2 Factor: 4x3 – 2x2 = 2x2(
Example #2 Factor: 4x3 – 2x2 = 2x2(2x
Example #2 Factor: 4x3 – 2x2 = 2x2(2x – 1)
