Multiplying Monomials and Polynomials

The video tutorial explains how to use the distributive property to multiply a monomial through a polynomial. It begins with an introduction to the concept, followed by a detailed example of applying the distributive property to a binomial. The tutorial then provides a practice problem involving a trinomial, guiding viewers through the process of distributing a monomial across multiple terms. The video emphasizes understanding the steps involved in simplifying expressions using the distributive property.
