Is there a limit on terms? The video introduces polynomials by first defining terms. The presenter goes on to discuss the degree of polynomials and the conventional way of writing polynomials in decreasing degree. Topics include...

Find the area of FOIL. A short video makes the connection between the FOIL method and the area model of multiplying two binomials. The graphics show how the different parts of the area model can be connected to the nemonic FOIL.

Explain the process of multiplying polynomials presented in different forms. The video instructor shows examples of both two and three binomials. One example shows the multiplication of a binomial squared illustrating the difference in...

The distributive property and FOIL are the same when it comes to binomial multiplication. The video demonstrates binomial multiplication using the distributive property. The presenter shows the general case and provides two...

Introduce your class to the greatest factor on earth. The group of videos introduces factoring polynomials by finding the greatest common factor (GCF). They connect finding the GCF of the terms in a polynomial to finding the...

Getting the vocabulary straight is the first step to understanding polynomials. The video provides the basic vocabulary to describe polynomials. The resource links the vocabulary to the classification of polynomials both by degree...

So you are looking for all the possible binomial factors of a trinomial expression? First find the factors of the coefficients. Then set up a table or template to do a guess and check. Write out, using the template, all the possible...

The word FOIL stands for First, Outer, Inner, Last. Use a provided template to factor a binomial then use the FOIL method to check your answer. Factoring and multiplying binomials never looked so easy.

What are the characteristics of a polynomial that would make it factorable by the difference of squares rule? There are four must haves: two terms, coefficients are perfect squares, minus sign, degree of each term is even or zero. If it...

What is the difference of a cube? When is it used? How does it work? Use it to factor a binomial involving subtraction. Rewrite the terms as a cubed expression. Then apply the difference of cubes formula. Don't forget to simplify. Still...

Have you ever heard of the FOIL method? Watch and learn how the FOIL method can be used to help you multiply binomials. It all starts with a tic-tac-toe box and two polynomials then ends with a correct answer.

FOIL= first, outside, inside, last. Use this method to multiply two binomials. The teacher demonstrates this method using variables. Then she demonstrates with numbers and variables and writes out each term being multiplied. Finally,...

The instructor does a very good job of explaining all the things you need to do to find the integer values of this given trinomial. She demonstrates how to set up a template to be able to check the signs of the terms. Next step, what are...

So you are looking for all the possible binomial factors of a trinomial expression? First find the factors of the coefficients. Then set up a table or template to do a guess and check. Write out, using the template, all the possible...

Multiply a rational expression and a polynomial. No problem, you can do it. Turn your polynomial into a fraction and multiply. You might need to factor your polynomials first to see if you can cancel out some terms, thereby reducing it...

The teachers uses a diagram to set up her initial equation to reflect the changes being made to a garden plot. She has a good explanation of how she got her equation. Then she works through the steps to solve the equation.

FOIL it! What? You want to multiply two binomials then use the FOIL method: First, Outside, Inside, Last. When you have done that, your final steps is to combine the like terms.

The teacher explains the many steps in simplifying a rational expression using opposite binomial factors. At first it seems complicated but if you follow along and watch out for your negative numbers you can learn how to simplify this...

The rational expression in this example is of a trinomial divided by a trinomial. Learn how to simplify this rational expression. The instructor demonstrates how to factor each trinomial and cancel the like terms to get it in simplest form.

FOIL= first, outside, inside, last. Use this method to multiply two binomials. The teacher demonstrates this method using variables. Then she demonstrates with numbers and variables and writes out each term being multiplied. Finally,...

Check this out. Multiply binomials using the distributive property. It's really not that difficult to do. Watch this video as the instructor illustrates the steps to distribute, and then combines the like terms to simplify.

Multiply two binomials that have the same terms but different signs. One way is to FOIL it and then combine like terms. Another, shorter way to do it is to use a formula. There's a formula for the product of a sum and a difference. Using...

Do you have a perfect square binomial? Don't know, not sure, what is a perfect square binomial? The instructor takes you through many steps to see if this given binomial is a perfect square. It is, and she shows you how to factor it.

When first looking at this polynomial and thinking about factoring it into binomials, the task seems daunting because the numbers just look icky. But watch this video and see the instructor demonstrate how to factor by the A-C method....
