4. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley To find the product of a monomial and a polynomial with more than one term we use the distributive property and multiplication of monomials. Multiply a monomial and a polynomial. As shown in Section 5.1, we find the product of two monomials by using the rules for exponents and the commutative and associative properties. For example Slide 5.5 - 4 Do not confuse addition of terms with multiplication of terms. For instance,, but

7. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Multiply two polynomials. We can use the distributive property repeatedly to find the product of any two polynomials. For example, to find the product of the polynomials x 2 + 3x +5 and x − 4, think of x − 4 as a single quantity and use the distributive property as follows. Slide 5.5 - 7 Now use the distributive property three more times to find x 2 (x − 4), 3x(x − 4), and 5(x − 4). This example suggests the following rule. To multiply polynomials, multiply each term of the second polynomial by each term of the first polynomial and add the products.

13. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Multiply binomials by the FOIL method. Slide 5.5 - 13 In algebra, many times the polynomials to be multiplied are binomials. For these products, the FOIL method reduces the rectangle method to a systematic approach without the rectangle. A summary of the steps in the FOIL method follows. Step 1: Multiply the two First terms of the binomials to get the first term of the answer. Step 2: Find the Outer product and Inner product and add them (when possible) to get the middle term of the answer. Step 3: Multiply the two Last terms of the binomials to get the last term of the answer.
