3. 6-1 Hmwk Quiz
Rewrite each polynomial in standard form. Then identify the leading coefficient, degree, and number of terms. Name the polynomial.
A. 3 – 5x2 + 4x
B. 3x2 – 4 + 8x4

4. Objectives Multiply polynomials.
Use binomial expansion to expand binomial expressions that are raised to positive integer powers.

5. To multiply a polynomial by a monomial, use the Distributive Property and the Properties of Exponents.

7. Example 1: Multiplying a Monomial and a Polynomial
Find each product.
A. 4y2(y2 + 3)
B. fg(f4 + 2f3g – 3f2g2 + fg3)

FOIL
1. (x + 3)(4x2 – 2) 2. (3xy +2)(6x + 4y)

12. To multiply any two polynomials, use the Distributive Property and multiply each term in the second polynomial by each term in the first.
Keep in mind that if one polynomial has m terms and the other has n terms, then the product has mn terms before it is simplified.

13. Example 2A: Multiplying Polynomials
Find the product.
(a – 3)(2 – 5a + a2)
Method 1 Multiply horizontally.
a(a2) + a(–5a) + a(2) – 3(a2) – 3(–5a) –3(2)

17. Example 2B: Multiplying Polynomials
Find the product.
(y2 – 7y + 5)(y2 – y – 3)
Multiply each term of one polynomial by each term of the other. Use a table to organize the products.
y –y –3 y2
–7y 5
The top left corner is the first term in the product. Combine terms along diagonals to get the middle terms. The bottom right corner is the last term in the product. y4

25. Notice the coefficients of the variables in the final product of (a + b)3. these coefficients are the numbers from the third row of Pascal's triangle.
Each row of Pascal’s triangle gives the coefficients of the corresponding binomial expansion. The pattern in the table can be extended to apply to the expansion of any binomial of the form (a + b)n, where n is a whole number.

26. This information is formalized by the Binomial Theorem, which you will study further in Chapter 11.
