Lesson
Multiplying Polynomial by a Monomial
1

What’s In

3
Let us first review the laws of exponent that can be applied in this lesson.
A. Product of Same Bases
In multiplying the same base, add the exponents.
For example,
1. (x2) (x3) = x2 + 3 2. (23) (24) = 23 + 4
(x2) (x3) = x5 (23) (24) = 27
(23) (24) = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2
(23) (24) = 128
B. Power to a Power
If an exponent is raise by another exponent, multiply the exponents and copy the
base.
For example,
1. (x2)3 = x2 (3) 2. (23)3 = 23 (3)
(x2)3 = x6 = 29
=2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2
(23)3 = 512

C. Two bases and an exponent

If an exponent is raise to two bases, raise the two bases with the exponent.

For example,

1. (ab)2 = (a)2 (b)2 2. (2x)3 = (2)3 (x)3

(ab)2 = a2 b2 = 2 x 2 x 2 (x)3

(2x)3 = 8 x3

In multiplying polynomials as well, we will also use the distributive property of

equality. For example,

1. 2 (a + 1)

Steps Illustration

Multiply the expression outside the 2 (a + 1) = 2 (a) + 2 (1)

parenthesis to each term of the

4
expression inside the parenthesis.

Simplify the equation. 2 (a + 1) = 2 (a) + 2 (1)

2 (a + 1) = 2a + 2

Write the answer. Therefore, 2 (a + 1) = 2a + 2.

To test whether you really understand the lesson, let us answer the activity.

Activity 1: Let’s Do This Once Again

Let’s Find Out: How to use laws of exponent and distributive property in multiplying
polynomials?

2. b (b + 5)
Well done.
You are now ready for the next lesson.

What’s New

Consider the problem below.

1. A rectangular lot has a width of x and a length of x + 3. What is the area of the
rectangular lot?

5
 To solve this problem, we need to find the area of the rectangular lot. We
need the skill in multiplying polynomials since the area of a rectangle uses
multiplication.

Take note that the area of a rectangle has a formula of Area = length x width.
Therefore in finding the area of the rectangular lot, we need to multiply its
length by its width.
A = lw
where A is the area, l is the length and w is the width.
Hence, the area of the rectangular lot is
A = lw
A = (x + 3) x or A = x (x + 3)
Applying the distributive property of equality,
A = x (x + 3)

Therefore, the area of the rectangle is A = x 2 + 3x.

Try to find out how to multiply polynomials in the next activity.

What is It

In multiplying monomial by a polynomial, we need to use some laws of

exponents and distributive property. Observe the examples illustrated below.

Example 1: Give the product of (2) (b + 3).

Using the Distributive Property, this is how you do it.
Steps Illustration

6
 Multiply monomial to the first term
2 (b + 3) = 2 (b) + 2 (3)
of the binomial. (Applying
Distributive Property)
 Multiply monomial to the second
term of the binomial. (Using
Distributive Property)

Get the product of 2(b) and 2(3).

2 (b + 3) = 2 (b) + 2 (3) = 2b + 6

Write the answer Therefore, 2 (b + 3) = 2b + 6.

You can also use the vertical solution in multiplying polynomial by a monomial.
Kindly observe how it is done.

Example 1. Give the product of 2 (b + 3).

Steps Illustration
 Arrange the polynomials in b+3
vertical format, x 2
b+3
 Multiply 2 and 3. 2(b) 2(3)
 Multiply 2 to b. x 2
2b + 6
Write the answer. Therefore, 2 (b + 3) = 2b + 6.

Example 2: What is the result if (-4a2) is multiplied to (-2a + 3)?

This is how to present example 2 using distributive property.
Steps Illustration
 Multiply monomial to the first term
in the binomial. (Applying (-4a2) (-2a + 3) = -4a2(-2a) + (-4a2) (3)
Distributive Property)
 Multiply monomial to the second
term in the binomial. (using
Distributive Property)
 Solve the product of (-4a2)(-2a) -4a2 (-2a) + (-4a2) (3)= 8a3 – 12a2
and (-4a2)(3)

7
 Write the answer. Therefore, -4a2 (-2a + 3) = 8a3 – 12a2

Example 2 can also be presented using vertical solution.

Steps Illustration
 Write the polynomials this way. - 2a + 3
x - 4a2
 Multiply – 4a2 to 3. - 2a + 3
 Multiply – 4a2 to – 2a. (– 4a2)( 3)
(– 4a2)( 2a)

x - 4a2
8a3 -12a2
 Write the answer. Therefore, -4a (- 2a + 3)= 8a3 – 12a2.
2

Example 3: Determine the product of (-3m) (m2 – 2m + 3).

Let us present the example using distributive property.
Steps Illustration
 Multiply the monomial to the first
term in the trinomial. - 3m ( m2 – 2m + 3 )
 Multiply the monomial to the
second term in the trinomial. = -3m(m2) + (-3m) (-2m) + (-3m (3)

 Multiply the monomial to the third

term in the trinomial

 Get the product of -3m(m2) , = -3m(m2) + (-3m) (-2m) + (-3m) (3)

-3m(-2m) and -3m(3).
= -3m3 + 6m2 – 9m
 Finally, write the answer. Therefore;
-3m(m2–2m+3) = -3m3 + 6m2 – 9m

Let us also present the example using vertical solution.

Steps Illustration
m2 – 2m + 3
 Write the polynomials this way. x - 3m

 Multiply – 3m by 3. m2 – 2m + 3

(– 3m)( -2m)
 Multiply -3m by – 2m.
(– 3m)( m2 ) (– 3m)( 3)

8
 Multiply – 3m by m2. x - 3m
- 3m3 + 6m2 – 9m

 Write the answer. Therefore;

- 3m (m2 – 2m + 3) = -3m3+6m2 - 9m

Notice that the product using distributive property and vertical solution are the same.

Since you already know the important terms use in multiplying polynomials, let
us proceed to our lesson.

What’s New

In a far away barrio, there lives a farmer named Lucio. He owns a wide and
vast rice field in the whole barrio. Lucio wants to know how wide and long is his rice

10
field. The farmer immediately calls an engineer to measure his rice field. The
engineer discovers that Mang Lucio’s land is x + 3 meters long and x – 2 meters
wide. How will Mang Lucio knows the area of his rice field?

What is It

To multiply a polynomial by another polynomial, multiply each term of the first

polynomial by the second polynomial. In other words, apply the distributive property
of multiplication.
Study carefully how the procedure is done in multiplying two binomials.

Examples:
1. (x + 2) (x - 1) = ?
This example can be presented using the distributive property. This is how to do it.
Steps Illustration
 Multiply the first term of the first
binomial to the second binomial. (x + 2) (x – 1) = x (x –1)+2 (x–1)
 Multiply the second term of the
first binomial to the second
binomial.
 Get the product of x (x – 1) and 2 = x (x – 1) + 2 (x – 1)
(x – 1).
= x (x) + x (-1) + 2 (x) + 2 (-1)
= x2 – x + 2x –2

11
 Combine like terms. = x2 – x + 2x –2
= x2 +x –2
 Write the answer. Therefore, (x + 2) (x – 1) = x2 + x – 2

2. (x + 1) (x – 3) = ?

Steps Illustration
 Multiply the first term of the first
binomial to the second binomial. (x + 1) (x – 3) = x (x – 3)+ 1 (x – 3)
 Multiply the second term of the
first binomial to the second
binomial.
=x (x – 3) + 1 (x – 3)
 Get the product of
x (x – 3) and 1 (x – 3) =x (x) + x (-3) + 1 (x) + 1 (-3)
using Distributive Property = x2 – 3x +x –3

 Combine like terms. =x 2

– 3x +x –3
= x2 – 2x –3

 Write the answer. Therefore;

(x + 1) (x – 3) = x2 – 2x -3

3. (x – 1) (x2 + 2x – 1)

Steps Illustration
 Multiply the first term of the
binomial to the trinomial. (x – 1) (x2 + 2x – 1)
 Multiply the second term of the
binomial to the trinomial. = x (x2 +2x–1) + (-1) (x2 +2x–1)

 Get the product of = x (x2 + 2x – 1) + (-1) (x2 + 2x – 1)

x (x2 + 2x – 1)
and (-1) (x2 + 2x – 1) = x (x2) + x (2x)+x (-1) +(-1)(x2)+(-1)(2x)+ (-1)(-1)
by using Distributive
Property
= x3 + 2x2 – x - x2 – 2x +1

 Combine like terms. = x3 + 2x2 – x - x2 – 2x + 1

12
 = x3 + x2 – 3x + 1
 Write the answer. (x – 1)(x2 + 2x–1) = x3 + x2 – 3x + 1
