PRODUCT

OF
TWO
BINOMIALS
The product of (ax + by) and (cx + dy), two
binomials having like terms, is presented
geometrically with the figure below.
 Find the Area of each
portion of the given figure.
The area of each portion of the figure
whose sides are (ax + by) and (cx +
dy), is simply the sum of the areas of
the regions comprising it, namely:
• T1=(ax)(cx)=acx2

• T2=(by)(cx)=bcxy

=(ax)(dy)=adxy

• T3=(by)(dy)=bdy2
 The area of the whole
figure is
acx2 + (bc + ad)xy +bdy2.

Examples
1. Find the product of x+7 and x+3
From the given binomials, what is the first
term?
Solution
 F: (x)(x)= x 2 L: (7)(3)=21

(x+7) (x+3)
I: (7)(x)=7x

O: (x)(3)=3x
Answer
x2 +10x+21
Examples
2.Multiply (6x+7) (9x -8).
Solution
=(6x)(9x) + (6x)(-8) + (7)(9x) + (7)(-8)
=(54x2) + (-48x) +(63x)+(-56)
=54x2 -48x +63x – 56
=54x2 +15x -56
Answer
54x +15x -56

3. Simplify (3x +2y) (4x -5y).
Solution
=(3x)(4x)+(3x)(-5y)+(2y)(4x)+(2y)(-5y)
=12x2 -15xy +8xy -10y2
=12x2 -7xy -10y2
Answer
12x2 -7xy -10y2
