MULTIPLYING

POLYNOMIALS
Objectives:
1.Perform multiplication of polynomials:
a)monomial by monomial
b)monomial by polynomial with
more than one term
2.Participate actively in class discussion
and activity

Kinds of Polynomials
Monomial- a polynomial with one term,
a product of a number and variables
Examples: 2x , 4xy and 3x²y²

Binomial - a polynomial of two terms

Examples: x + 3y , 2x – 4yz and 2x² + 1

Trinomial – a polynomial of three terms

Example: 3x² - 2x - 1
Find the area of a rectangle
given the following dimensions.
1. length = 8x, width = 3x
2. length = 10x, width = -5x
3. length = 3x, width = 2x + 2
4. length = 2x, width = 3x - 1
