NAME _ DATE _ 4-3 Multiplying Polynomials Objective: To multiply polynomials. Vocabulary Rinamial A polynomial that has two terms, ‘Trinomial A polynomial that has three terms, Example 1 Multiply (2x + 3y\(Sx 4y). 1. Multiply the firse terms} 2, Multiply the outer terms. Multiply the inner terms. | | | | Solution Ov + Wye = dy) = 12 = fey + Sey — 129? | 4. Multiply the. last terms. 5. Combine any similar terms — ° a 10x? + Try — 12y? ees This is sometimes called the FOIL method. as shown by the diagram. The Om Ge + Bye - dy) = 10e + Mey — 1292 word FON. reminds you to nmultiply the First, Outer, Inner, and Last terms. This method can be used only when multiplying two binomials. | Multiply.
