Multiplying Polynomials
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Polynomials multiply by distribution: each term of one factor multiplies each term of the other, and the products add.
Show
2x(3x + 4) = 6x² + 8x. With longer factors the bookkeeping grows; the rule never changes.
Watch for
Multiply coefficients and add exponents within each product.
Builds on
- Nothing — this is a starting point.
Unlocks
- Nothing yet depends on this.
