Practice this chapterThe first term in the result is the product of the first terms in each binomial The second and third terms are the product of multiplying the two outer terms and then the two inner terms
You can multiply polynomials using the distributive property
second and third terms — the product of multiplying the two outer terms and then the two inner terms. first term in the result — the product of the first terms in each binomial.
Worked example
What does “second and third terms” mean in Unit 7 Overview and Readiness?
- 1Use the wording this chapter gives for second and third terms.
- 2The book says: the product of multiplying the two outer terms and then the two inner terms.
- 3Do not use the meaning of first term in the result. That term means the product of the first terms in each binomial.
Result: the product of multiplying the two outer terms and then the two inner terms
Why. That is the meaning this chapter gives for second and third terms.
Do not swap second and third terms and first term in the result. second and third terms means the product of multiplying the two outer terms and then the two inner terms. first term in the result means the product of the first terms in each binomial.
