Algebra 1 –Q2 U4.2 Multiplying Polynomials

Objective: The learner will be able to multiply polynomials.

Louisiana Standard: A1: A-APR A. Perform arithmetic operations on polynomials. 1. Understand that polynomials form a
system analogous to the integers, namely, they are closed under the operations of addition, subtraction, and
multiplication; add, subtract, and multiply polynomials.

 Multiplying Polynomials using a Geometric Model

1. (2 x−3)(3 x2 + 4 x+ 2) 2. ( x +1)(−4 x 2 +2 x −7)

3 x2 4x 2
2x

−3
 −4 x 2 2x −7
x

*DRAW YOUR OWN GEOMETRIC MODEL*

3. ( x +3)(−4 x 2 +2 x−7) 4. (2 x+3)(x 2−5 x +3)

 Multiplying Polynomials using the Distributive Property
