Front

What happens when you multiply -8x² times 9x³?

Back

Multiply -8 & 9 and add the powers of x resulting in -8⋅9x^(2 + 3).

Front

Can you combine -3x⁵ and -8x⁴?

Back

Cannot, because these are not like terms, as they do not have the same variable and the same power.

Front

Simplify the expression: x³(2x² + 3x)

Back

2x⁵ + 3x⁴

Front

What is a polynomial?

Back

A polynomial is a mathematical expression consisting of variables, coefficients, and non-negative integer exponents.

Front

What are like terms?

Back

Like terms are terms that have the same variable raised to the same power.

Front

What is the distributive property?

Back

The distributive property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac.

Front

What is the degree of a polynomial?

Back

The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the variable in the expression.

Front

What is the product of two polynomials?

Back

The product of two polynomials is obtained by multiplying each term in the first polynomial by each term in the second polynomial.
