1. Multiplying Polynomials

2. Exponents Remember if you are multiplying numbers with the same base, then ADD the exponents together. Examples:

3. We will learn how to multiply the following: -A monomial and a polynomial - A monomial by a monomial - A monomial by a binomial - A monomial by a trinomial

4. Multiplying a Monomial by a Monomial

5. Multiplying a Monomial and a Binomial Note that a (monomial)(binomial) = binomial (1)(2) = 2

6. Multiplying a Monomial and a Trinomial Note that a (monomial)(trinomial) = trinomial (1)(3) = 3

7. Try the following: A) 5m 3 (2m + 7) B) – 2x 4 (3x 2 + 2x – 5) C) – 4y 2 (3y 3 + 22y 2 – 4y + 8) A) 10m 4 + 35m 3 B) – 6x 6 – 4x 5 + 10x 4 C) – 12y 5 – 88y 4 + 16y 3 – 32y 2
