5.3 Multiply Polynomials

text item
For the Instructor

 

Don't rely too much on FOIL.  There will be questions on the common exam that cannot be done using FOIL.

Easy:

  • Expand `3x(x - 7)` 
  • Expand `(x - 5)(x + 4)` 
  • Expand `(2x - 5)(3x + 7)` 
  • Expand `(3a + 2b)(5a - 2b)` 
  • Expand `(x - 5)^2` 

Medium:

  • Expand `(1/3 x + 2)(2/5x - 4)` 
  • Expand `(2x + 7)(x^2 - 4x - 7)` 
  • Expand `(x^2 + 3x + 8)^2` 
  • Expand `(x^2 + 5)(2x -3)` 
  • Expand `(x^3 + x + 1)(x^2 + 1)` 
  • Expand `(3a + 2b)(4c - 5d)` ` `
