Geometry Guided Notes
Multiplying Binomials:
1. Distribute one term all the way through
2. Multiply the second term all the way through
3. Simplify
Examples: Simplify each product.
1. (x + 7) (x -1)
2. (3x -2) (4x +12)
3. Find each product.
a) (x + 1)2
b) (5x + y)2
c) (2x - 1)(2x + 1)
4. Write an expression to describe the area of the shaded region.
5. Find the GCF of the terms of
4x3 + 12x2 -8x. Then factor. Ask yourself: What do all these terms
have in common?
Factoring is like the opposite of distributing.
6. Factor each polynomial.
a) 2x + 12
b)
2x-2
c) 6x4 + 18x2
d) 8x2 + 16x - 2
