How do I....

   (Monomial)(Monomial)

Solve the question in this order.

1. Sign
2. Coefficant
3. Variable

Ex (-3x²)(7x⁴y)

 We know it will be negative -
multiply Coefficants -21
add variables/exponents -21x⁶y

How do I....

(Monomial)(Polynomial)

Use the Distributive Property

Ex  3(X+7)

=3x+21

We multiply the term in front of the brackets times the terms within them and add the results.

As you can see above -7x² is multiplied through the term and we get our answer below.

(Binomial)(Binomial)

Use the FOIL Technique.
