17. To multiply a binomial by a binomial, you can apply the Distributive Property more than once:
(x + 3)(x + 2) = x(x + 2) + 3(x + 2)
Distribute x and 3.
= x(x + 2) + 3(x + 2)
Distribute x and 3 again.
= x(x) + x(2) + 3(x) + 3(2)
= x2 + 2x + 3x + 6
Multiply.
= x2 + 5x + 6
Combine like terms.

18. Another method for multiplying binomials is called the FOIL method.
1. Multiply the First terms. (x + 3)(x + 2) x x = x2  O
2. Multiply the Outer terms. (x + 3)(x + 2) x 2 = 2x  I
3. Multiply the Inner terms. (x + 3)(x + 2) x = 3x  L
4. Multiply the Last terms. (x + 3)(x + 2) = 6 
(x + 3)(x + 2) = x2 + 2x + 3x + 6 = x2 + 5x + 6 F O I L

19. Additional Example 3A: Multiplying Binomials

26. To multiply polynomials with more than two terms, you can use the Distributive Property several times. Multiply (5x + 3) by (2x2 + 10x – 6):
(5x + 3)(2x2 + 10x – 6) = 5x(2x2 + 10x – 6) + 3(2x2 + 10x – 6)
= 5x(2x2 + 10x – 6) + 3(2x2 + 10x – 6)
= 5x(2x2) + 5x(10x) + 5x(–6) + 3(2x2) + 3(10x) + 3(–6)
= 10x3 + 50x2 – 30x + 6x2 + 30x – 18
= 10x3 + 56x2 – 18

27. You can also use a rectangle model to multiply polynomials with more than two terms. This is similar to finding the area of a rectangle with length (2x2 + 10x – 6) and width (5x + 3):

+10x –6
10x3
50x2
–30x
30x
6x2
–18 5x +3
Write the product of the monomials in each row and column:
To find the product, add all of the terms inside the rectangle by combining like terms and simplifying if necessary.
10x3 + 6x2 + 50x2 + 30x – 30x – 18
10x3 + 56x2 – 18

28. Another method that can be used to multiply polynomials with more than two terms is the vertical method. This is similar to methods used to multiply whole numbers.
