Multiplying a Trinomial by a Binomial: To multiply a trinomial by a binomial, use the: Distributive Property
Practice this chapterMultiplying a Trinomial by a Binomial: To multiply a trinomial by a binomial, use the: Distributive Property Use the FOIL method for multiplying two binomials.
Multiplying Two Binomials: To multiply binomials, use the: Distributive Property Exponential Notation This is read a to the m th power
polynomial — A polynomial is a monomial, or two or more monomials, combined by addition or subtraction. trinomial — A trinomial is a polynomial with exactly three terms. binomial — A binomial is a polynomial with exactly two terms. greatest common factor — The greatest common factor (GCF) of two or more expressions is the largest expression that is a factor of all the expressions.
Be able to convert Scientific Notation to Decimal Form: To convert scientific notation to decimal form: Step 1. Determine the exponent, n , on the factor 10; find the greatest common factor. Step 1. Factor each coefficient into primes. Write all variables with exponents in expanded form; factor the greatest common factor from a polynomial. Step 1. Find the GCF of all the terms of the polynomial.
Worked example
What does “polynomial” mean in Polynomials?
- 1Use the wording this chapter gives for polynomial.
- 2The book says: A polynomial is a monomial, or two or more monomials, combined by addition or subtraction.
- 3Do not use the meaning of trinomial. That term means A trinomial is a polynomial with exactly three terms.
Result: A polynomial is a monomial, or two or more monomials, combined by addition or subtraction
Why. That is the meaning this chapter gives for polynomial.
Do not swap polynomial and trinomial. polynomial means A polynomial is a monomial, or two or more monomials, combined by addition or subtraction. trinomial means A trinomial is a polynomial with exactly three terms.
