MULTIPLYING POLYNOMIALS
OBJECTIVE NCSCOS 1.01 b – Write equivalent forms of algebraic expressions to solve problems. Operate with polynomials Students will know how to multiply polynomials by using the box method. They will use the rules of exponents and combining like terms to solve problems.
MULTIPLYING POLYNOMIALS Binomial X Binomial (3x + 2)(5x + 4)
BOX Method STEP 1: Draw the BOX
BOX Method 2x2 for a Binomial x Binomial
BOX Method STEP 2: Place terms on outside
BOX Method STEP 3: Multiply Find the area of each box.
BOX Method STEP 4: Combine Like Terms
BOX Method Why can’t I just combine like terms? Because we’re multiplying, not adding!
BOX Method LET’S SEE THAT AGAIN!
STEP 1: Draw the BOX

BOX Method
YOU TRY 1.(5x – 1)(4x + 11) 2.(2x – 3)(3x + 4) 3.(2x 2 + 3x)(4x 2 – 2x)
BOX Method 2x2 for a Binomial x Binomial
BOX Method
What about a binomial x trinomial?
1.(x 2 – 2x + 3)(2x + 4) 2.(2x + 3)(4x 2 – 2x + 4) 3.(4x – 2)(5x 2 – 4x – 3)
1.(x + 3)(x + 2) 2.(2x + 4)(3x – 2) 3.(-3x + 4)(5x – 6) 4.(7x – 5)(5x – 7) 5.(3x – 4)(3x 2 – 2x – 4)
