Example # 1Use the Distributive Property • Find the product (x + 2)(x-3) • Solution • (x+2)(x-3) • x(x-3) + 2(x-3) Distribute (x-3) to each term of (x+2). • x(x) - 3x + 2x - 6 Multiply X2 - x - 6 Combine Like Terms
Example # 2 Multiply Binomials Using The Foil Pattern • (2x +3)(2x+1) =4x2+2x+6x+3 • =4x2+8x+3 Combine Like Terms
Example # 3 Multiply Polynomials Vertically • Find The product (x-2)(5+3x-x2
