Monomial by a Monomial

In order to multiply a monomial by a

monomial, we are going to use the
Commutative Property of
Multiplication
Monomial by a Monomial
Example 1:
For this example, remember that
is also equivalent to

Multiply the constants first

In order to multiply a monomial by a

polynomial, we are going to use the
Distributive Property
Monomial by a Polynomial
Example 1:
Distribute to

Multiply mono
by mono

Notice that it became addition

of polynomials.We cannot
combine them for having
unlike terms
