9-6: Multiplying a Polynomial by a Monomial

OBJECTIVES:You will multiply a polynomial by a monomial and simplify expressions involving polynomials.

This section is essentially how to use the distributive property.

The distributive property is a tool you already have in your mathematics toolbox.

The difference is that you will now be faced with using the tools from the first half of this chapter while going through the distribution process.

EXAMPLE 1: Find each product.A. 7b(4b2 - 18) B. -3y2(6y2 - 8y + 12)

Use the distributive property first. Use the distributive property first.

7b(4b2) + 7b(-18)

7(4)(b)(b2) + 7(-18)(b)

Use the properties from 9-1 to 9-4.Re-arrange the terms.

Multiply constants and use exponents for variables.

28b3 + -126bCombine like terms and simplify.

28b3 - 126b

-3y2(6y2) + (-3y2)(-8y) + (-3y2)(12)

(-3)(6)(y2)(y2) + (-3)(-8)(y2)(y) + (-3)(12)(y2)

Use the properties from 9-1 to 9-4.Re-arrange the terms.

Multiply constants and use exponents for variables.

-18y4 + 24y3 + -36y2

Combine like terms and simplify.

-18y4 + 24y3 - 36y2

EXAMPLE 2: Simplify -3pq(p2q + 2p - 3p2q).

This problem is a bit unusual. There are like terms in the parenthesis which have not been combined yet.It will be easier to combine them first, then do the distribution.

-3pq(1p2q - 3p2q + 2p)-3pq(-2p2q + 2p)-3pq(-2p2q) + (-3pq)(2p)

-3(-2)(p)(p2)(q)(q) + (-3)(2)(p)(p)(q)

Use the properties from 9-1 to 9-4.Re-arrange the terms.

Multiply constants and use exponents for variables.

6p3q2 + -6p2qCombine like terms and simplify.

6p3q2 - 6p2q

EXAMPLE 3: Solve the equation:x(x + 3) + 7x - 5 = x(8 + x) - 9x + 14.

Step back to the rules for solving equations - the full set of rules.(1) Distribute: x(x) + x(3) + 7x - 5 = x(8) + x(x) - 9x + 14

x2 + 3x + 7x - 5 = 8x + x2 - 9x + 14(2) Combine like terms on each side.

x2 + 10x - 5 = x2 - 1x + 14(3) Move all variables to same side.

x2 + 10x - 5 = x2 - 1x + 14-x2 -x2

10x - 5 = - 1x + 14+1x + 1x11x - 5 = 14

(4) Add/subtract from both sides.

11x - 5 = 14+5 +5

11x = 19(5) Multiply/divide on both sides.

11x = 1911 11

19x

11
