Multiplying+polynomials.

1. Whats a fractional coefficent? fraction/number before a variable.

2. How would polynomials be different w/ fractional coefficents? there not any different, you just have the fractions your working with.

3. What is the distributive property? it states that you can switch around whats in the parentheses.

4. Why is it important to understand the distributive property when multiplying polynomials? because you use numbers with parantheses so you use this property to solve it.

5. How do I multiply polynomials? -do the first part distributive -then the 2nd -all other parts next -then multiply

EXAMPLE: 2x (3x^2+4x+7) = 6x^3+8x^2+14x

6. What do I do with the exponents when multiplying? you multiply all the exponents 2x X 3x^2 (2*3*x*x*x)
