10.0 Students add, subtract, multiply, and divide monomials and polynomials. Student solve multistep problems, including word problems, by using these techniques.


To multiply monomials and polynomials, you will use some of the properties of exponents that you learned earlier in this chapter.

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.

Distribute x and 3 again.

Multiply.

Combine like terms.

= x(x + 2) + 3(x + 2)

= x(x) + x(2) + 3(x) + 3(2)

= x2 + 2x + 3x + 6

= x2 + 5x + 6

7-8 Multiplying PolynomialsAnother method for multiplying binomials is called the FOIL method.

4. Multiply the Last terms. (x + 3)(x + 2) 3 2 = 6

3. Multiply the Inner terms. (x + 3)(x + 2) 3 x = 3x

2. Multiply the Outer terms. (x + 3)(x + 2) x 2 = 2x

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

7-8 Multiplying PolynomialsYou 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):

2x2 +10x –6

10x3 50x2 –30x

30x6x2 –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


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.

2x2 + 10x – 6

5x + 36x2 + 30x – 18

Multiply each term in the top polynomial by 3.

Multiply each term in the top polynomial by 5x, and align like terms.+ 10x3 + 50x2 – 30x

10x3 + 56x2 + 0x – 18

10x3 + 56x2 – 18

Combine like terms by adding vertically.
