Multiplying and Distributing Polynomials

In this video tutorial from Rura Math, the instructor demonstrates how to multiply polynomials to find the volume of a rectangular solid. The process involves multiplying three polynomials: (5x - 3), (2x + 3), and (x + 4). The instructor explains the multiplication step-by-step, first multiplying two polynomials and then incorporating the third. The final polynomial representing the volume is derived, and the instructor emphasizes that the order of multiplication does not affect the result. The video concludes with a call to action for viewers to subscribe and follow for more content.

What is the result of multiplying 5x by 2x?

• 6x

• 15x

• 10x^2

• 10x

Which of the following is a correct step in multiplying the first two binomials?

• 5x times 3 equals 10x

• Negative 3 times 3 equals 9
