• Monomials - a number, a variable, or a product of a number and one or more variables. 4x, 20x2yw3, -3, a2b3, and 3yz are all monomials.

• Polynomials – one or more monomials added or subtracted

• 4x + 6x2, 20xy - 4, and 3a2 - 5a + 4 are all polynomials.

Like TermsLike Terms

Like Terms refers to monomials that have the same variable(s) but may have different coefficients. The variables in the terms must have the same powers.

Which terms are like? 3a2b, 4ab2, 3ab, -5ab2

4ab2 and -5ab2 are like.

Even though the others have the same variables, the exponents are not the same.

3a2b = 3aab, which is different from 4ab2 = 4abb.

A polynomial with only one term is called a monomial. A polynomial with two terms is

called a binomial. A polynomial with three terms is called a trinomial. Identify the

Multiplying a Polynomial by another Polynomial requires more than one distributing step.

Multiply: (2a + 7b)(3a + 5b)

Distribute 2a(3a + 5b) and distribute 7b(3a + 5b):

6a2 + 10ab 21ab + 35b2

Then add those products, adding like terms:

6a2 + 10ab + 21ab + 35b2 = 6a2 + 31ab + 35b2

Types of PolynomialsTypes of Polynomials

• We have names to classify polynomials based on how many terms they have:

Monomial: a polynomial with one term

Binomial: a polynomial with two terms

Trinomial: a polynomial with three terms

Page 32: Review 10.1-10.4 Polynomials

F : Multiply the First term in each binomial. 2x • 4x = 8x2

There is an acronym to help us remember how to multiply two binomials without stacking them.

F.O.I.L.F.O.I.L.

(2x + -3)(4x + 5)

(2x + -3)(4x + 5) = 8x2 + 10x + -12x + -15 = 8x2 + -2x + -15

O : Multiply the Outer terms in the binomials. 2x • 5 = 10x

I : Multiply the Inner terms in the binomials. -3 • 4x = -12x

L : Multiply the Last term in each binomial. -3 • 5 = -15

Page 33: Review 10.1-10.4 Polynomials

Use the FOIL method to multiply these binomials:

F.O.I.L.F.O.I.L.

1) (3a + 4)(2a + 1)

2) (x + 4)(x - 5)

3) (x + 5)(x - 5)

4) (c - 3)(2c - 5)

5) (2w + 3)(2w - 3)

Page 34: Review 10.1-10.4 Polynomials

Use the FOIL method to multiply these binomials:

F.O.I.L.F.O.I.L.

1) (3a + 4)(2a + 1) = 6a2 + 3a + 8a + 4 = 6a2 + 11a + 4

2) (x + 4)(x - 5) = x2 + -5x + 4x + -20 = x2 + -1x + -20

3) (x + 5)(x - 5) = x2 + -5x + 5x + -25 = x2 + -25

4) (c - 3)(2c - 5) = 2c2 + -5c + -6c + 15 = 2c2 + -11c + 15

5) (2w + 3)(2w - 3) = 4w2 + -6w + 6w + -9 = 4w2 + -9

Page 35: Review 10.1-10.4 Polynomials

There are three techniques you can use for multiplying polynomials.

The best part about it is that they are all the same! Huh? Whaddaya mean?

It’s all about how you write it…Here they are!1)Distributive Property2)FOIL3)Box Method

Sit back, relax (but make sure to write this down), and I’ll show ya!

Page 36: Review 10.1-10.4 Polynomials

1) Multiply. (2x + 3)(5x + 8)

Using the distributive property, multiply 2x(5x + 8) + 3(5x + 8).

10x2 + 16x + 15x + 24

Combine like terms.

10x2 + 31x + 24

A shortcut of the distributive property is called the FOIL method.

Page 37: Review 10.1-10.4 Polynomials

The FOIL method is ONLY used when you multiply 2 binomials. It is an

acronym and tells you which terms to multiply.

2) Use the FOIL method to multiply the following binomials:

(y + 3)(y + 7).

Page 38: Review 10.1-10.4 Polynomials

(y + 3)(y + 7). F tells you to multiply the FIRST

terms of each binomial.

y2

Page 39: Review 10.1-10.4 Polynomials

(y + 3)(y + 7). O tells you to multiply the OUTER

terms of each binomial.

y2 + 7y

Page 40: Review 10.1-10.4 Polynomials

(y + 3)(y + 7). I tells you to multiply the INNER

terms of each binomial.

y2 + 7y + 3y

Page 41: Review 10.1-10.4 Polynomials

(y + 3)(y + 7). L tells you to multiply the LAST

terms of each binomial.y2 + 7y + 3y + 21

Combine like terms.

y2 + 10y + 21

Page 42: Review 10.1-10.4 Polynomials

Remember, FOIL reminds you to multiply the:

First terms

Outer terms

Inner terms

Last terms

Page 43: Review 10.1-10.4 Polynomials

The third method is the Box Method. This method works for every problem!

Here’s how you do it. Multiply (3x – 5)(5x + 2)

Draw a box. Write a polynomial on the top and side of a box. It does not matter which goes where.

This will be modeled in the next problem along with

FOIL.

Page 56: Review 10.1-10.4 Polynomials

There are formulas (shortcuts) that work for certain polynomial

multiplication problems.

(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2

(a - b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2

(a - b)(a + b) = a2 - b2

Being able to use these formulas will help you in the future when you have to factor. If you do not remember the formulas, you can always multiply

using distributive, FOIL, or the box method.

Page 57: Review 10.1-10.4 Polynomials

Let’s try one!1) Multiply: (x + 4)2

You can multiply this by rewriting this as (x + 4)(x + 4)

ORYou can use the following rule as a shortcut:

(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2

For comparison, I’ll show you both ways.

5) Multiply (x – 3)(x + 3) using (a – b)(a + b) = a2 – b2

You can only use this rule when the binomials are exactly the same except for the sign.

Example 2: Finding Products in the Form (a – b)2

A. (x – 6)2

(a – b) = a2 – 2ab + b2

(x – 6) = x2 – 2x(6) + (6)2

= x – 12x + 36
