How Do You Multiply Monomials?

Everyone can be shortcut-savvy with this video, which features Sal multiplying "a ton of polynomials" in clear, easily understandable terms. Those who have a hard time applying old concepts to new equations will rest assured with the...

Can you multiply a monomial by a polynomial? Yes you can, if you use the distributive property. Sal describes how to distribute the monomial term over the entire polynomial expression. He does a wonderful job explaining this concept.

Adding two polynomials begins with simplifying when possible. Sal demonstrates the process he uses to combine like terms and explains why the process works. This video would be great for those who need a quick refresher.

Sal completes a practice problem to reinforce and apply the concepts learned in previous Khan videos on multiplying polynomials. This would be a great practice problem to do with your students.

Some polynomials, when multiplied, result in a special product. Sal uses the distributive property to demonstrate the multiplication process. He then explains why some polynomials cannot be completely simplified.

Use this video to build mathematical vocabulary through practical application. Sal breaks down the parts of a polynomial expression, identifying the coefficient and exponents while he defines them.

Though it "sounds like a really fancy word," polynomials prove to be no match for Sal's mathematical skills. After defining the term and providing a few examples, Sal works through a few equations that add or subtract polynomials,...

Multiply two monomial rational expressions and then rewrite the solution in simplest form. Multiplying seems straightforward, but what about the reducing part? Find the greatest common factor. Then divide the numerator by the GCF, and...

What does the word term mean in the math world? Is a term a part of a polynomial? Are terms those pieces of a polynomial separated by either an addition or a subtraction sign? Knowing the vocabulary of math is very important. So watch...

The teacher explains how to write a polynomial in standard form. She first explains standard form and then shows several examples. A couple of expressions were not in standard form and I would have liked to see her rewrite these...
