Learn how to multiply binomials and trinomials effectively by following step-by-step instructions. From distributing monomials, using FOIL method, to collecting like terms, this guide explains it all. Practice with examples and simplify polynomial products with ease.
E N D
A monomial in front… • Step 1: Distribute the monomial to ONE of the brackets.
Step 2: FOIL • Step 3: Combine like terms.
An Example… Distribute the monomial to first bracket only FOIL Collect like terms!
A Binomial Multiplied by a Trinomial • Step 1: Distribute the first term to each term in the 2nd bracket, then distribute the second term to each term in the 2nd bracket. • Step 2: Collect like terms.
3 Binomials • Step 1: FOIL the first two binomials. • Step 2: Distribute the binomial remaining into the trinomial. • Step 3: Collect like terms.
Simplifying Sums & Differences of Polynomial Products • Step 1: FOIL the first two binomials, collect like terms • Step 2: FOIL the monomial into the binomial, then the two binomials together. Make sure to collect like terms. BEDMAS
Simplifying Sums & Differences of Polynomial Products (cont...) • Step 3: Now that we’ve done all of our multiplying, we can go ahead and combine the two sets of polynomials by collecting like terms. BEDMAS
