How to Multiply a Polynomial by a Monomial

• First, distribute the monomial to each term in the polynomial

• Then, multiply!

Another example...

First, distribute. Then, multiply!

Last example...

Again, first you distribute the monomial then you multiply!

Simplifying Expressions with Polynomials

Sometimes, there are TWO or more instances where we need to use the distributive property to simplify an expression.

Remember when simplifying any expression...

• First, use the Distributive Property to get rid of the parentheses.

• Then, combine like terms. (Same variable to the same exponent)

• An expression is fully simplified when it has no like terms and no exponents.
