Mastering Multiplication of Monomials and Binomials

This video tutorial covers the multiplication of polynomials, focusing on the distribution method and the FOIL method. It begins with an introduction to polynomials, including monomials, binomials, and trinomials. The tutorial then demonstrates how to multiply a monomial with a trinomial, followed by the multiplication of binomials using distribution. The FOIL method is introduced as a shortcut for multiplying two binomials. The video emphasizes the importance of combining like terms and writing the final expression in standard form.

What does the term 'distribute' mean in the context of polynomials?

• Dividing polynomials

• Multiplying polynomials together

• Subtracting polynomials

• Adding polynomials together
