There is really only one way to multiply polynomials and that is by distribution. There
are different ways to help with this process. Some of you may like to use arrows, or a
box, or FOIL in certain cases, but it is all about the distribution method.
Examples:
Monomial(Polynomial) --> Fancy words for “one term” times “many terms”
(-5x + 3)(2x – 9)
arrows: box:
This is the only type of problem you can do with the FOIL method. It will look very
similar to the arrows. FOIL stands for First Outer Inner Last.

A special problem for a binomial x binomial is one that will look like this:
(9x – 4)2
Don’t freak out because just as 52 = (5)(5) we have the same thing here:
(9x – 4)2 = (9x – 4)(9x – 4) Just solve how you would like!
Personally, I like the box method. It works out nicely for a problem like this…
Use 3 numbers for all problems when you represent a number in scientific notation.
