Math Planet: Algebra 1: Special Products of Polynomials

First clarifying that people need to "resist every temptation on earth" when squaring a binomial, Sal walks viewers through a few equations using binomials and applies the skills from the previous videos about working with polynomials....

"Just to really, really get the point drilled into your head," Sal continues his lecture on factoring quadratic expressions, focusing on special products. He works to instill the problem-solving skills necessary to quickly and...

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.

An exponential function is a nonlinear function that has the form of y=a*b^x, where a != 0, b > 0. An exponential function with a > 0 and b > 1, like the one above, represents an exponential growth and the graph of an...

Provides examples and a video lesson that illustrates how to solve equations in one or more steps.

Demonstrates how to solve quadratic equations by factoring. Four equations are solved some involving special products including perfect square trinomials and difference of squares. This video also appears in the Algebra: ck12.org strand....
