Question

Hello! Can someone explain to me how to multiply polynomials and monomials??

Answer 1

hi. Do you have a sample question? Or do I need to come up with on?

Answer 2

I mean one.

Answer 3

Yes, I have a sample question xD

Answer 4

Ok great.

Answer 5

Let's use this one: (3x + 3)(4x^2 - 7x -1)

Answer 6

Or is it too complicated? >.<

Answer 7

Oh no that is perfect.

Answer 8

Ok! :D

Answer 9

Ok first you know what a polynomial and a monomial is correct?

Answer 10

A monomial is 1 term. And a Polynomial is more than 3 terms. Since poly means many.

Answer 11

Correct. :)

Answer 12

Ok then that makes this next step easier. You would need to combine all like terms. In this problem (3x + 3)(4x^2 - 7x -1) the alike terms are the 3x and the -7x and the 3 and the -1.

Answer 13

I knew that was the next step, but I was unsure of how to perform it....

Answer 14

After combining like terms then you just have your answer. Which would be 4x^2 -4x+2. That would be the answer.

Answer 15

Would you like to try another one?

Answer 16

Yes, please. I am still a little bit confused....

Answer 17

ok. Here is an example I have. This is for a monomial. The example expression is (d^2)(d^5).
