To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses.
If a = c = 4, b = d = 1, what is the area of this rectangle?
| 24 | |
| 14 | |
| 4 | |
| 9 |
The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:
a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 4 x 1
a = 4
Simplify (9a)(5ab) - (3a2)(9b).
| 72a2b | |
| 18a2b | |
| 72ab2 | |
| 168ab2 |
To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.
(9a)(5ab) - (3a2)(9b)
(9 x 5)(a x a x b) - (3 x 9)(a2 x b)
(45)(a1+1 x b) - (27)(a2b)
45a2b - 27a2b
18a2b
Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?
monomial |
|
quadratic |
|

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.
What is 9a4 - 5a4?
| 4a4 | |
| 14 | |
| 4a8 | |
| a48 |
To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.
9a4 - 5a4 = 4a4
