How do you know that a binomial can be factored using the difference of squares? First try finding the greatest common factor and pulling that out. Then take a look at what is left. Are the coefficients perfect squares? Then it could be...

Find the area of several rectangles that have been given monomial values. When the rectangles are put together, the sides are added together to form a binominal value. Now use the formula for area to multiply the two binomials. Use the...

Given a trinomial to factor, figure out the signs that will be in the resulting binomials. There are three cases for the combination of signs. Check out this video, it will prove to be very helpful to know how to determine the signs...

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...

The teacher 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.

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.

Introduces monomials and binomials and explains how they can be used to calculate area and gives an example of multiplying 3 binomials together to determine volume.

This video explains the FOIL method when multiplying binomials and uses two column notes to show the process of foiling binomials in different area problems.

Video illustrates the pattern of multiplying binomials of the form (a + b)(a - b).

This video tutorial demonstrates how to divide polynomials. The lesson includes step-by-step examples using long division.

In this tutorial, you'll see a fun alternative to the FOIL method. Learn how to set up a tic-tac-toe grid and use it to find the product of two polynomials. [2:12]

Video explains how to find special binomial products. Four examples are worked that show how to square a binomial. Three examples are worked that show the product of a sum and a difference (a +b)(a - b).

Video demonstrates how to find the square of a binomial as a special case of multiplying binomials.

A polynomial consists of constants, variables, and exponents. Polynomials are named based on the number of terms they have. Watch this brief video introducing polynomials. [0:47]
