8-2 Multiplying a Polynomial by a Monomial


Let’s do these together.
Polynomial Multiplied by Monomial The Distributive Property can be used to multiply a polynomial by a monomial.
You can multiply horizontally or vertically. Sometimes multiplying results in like terms. The products can be simplified
by combining like terms.

Example 1: Find –3𝒙𝟐 (4𝒙𝟐 + 6x – 8). Example 2: Simplify –2(4𝒙𝟐 + 5x) – x(𝒙𝟐 + 6x).
Horizontal Method
–2(4𝑥 2 + 5x) – x(𝑥 2 + 6x)
–3𝑥 2 (4𝑥 2 + 6x – 8)
= –2(4𝑥 2 ) + (–2)(5x) + (–x)( 𝑥 2 ) + (–x)(6x)
2 2 2 2
= –3𝑥 (4𝑥 ) + (–3𝑥 )(6x) – (–3𝑥 )(8)
= –8𝑥 2 + (–10x) + (–𝑥 3 ) + (–6𝑥 2 )
= –12𝑥 4 + (–18𝑥 3 ) – (–24𝑥 2 )
= (–𝑥 3 ) + [–8𝑥 2 + (–6𝑥 2 )] + (–10x)
= –12𝑥 4 – 18𝑥 3 + 24𝑥 2
= –𝑥 3 – 14𝑥 2 – 10x
Vertical Method
4𝑥 2 + 6x – 8
(×) –3𝑥 2
–12𝑥 4 – 18𝑥 3 + 24𝑥 2
The product is –12𝑥 4 – 18𝑥 3 + 24𝑥 2 .
Find each product.
1. x(5x + 𝑥 2 ) 2. x(4𝑥 2 + 3x + 2) 3. –2xy(2y + 4𝑥 2 )

4. –2g(𝑔2 – 2g + 2) 5. 3x(𝑥 4 + 𝑥 3 + 𝑥 2 ) 6. –4x(2𝑥 3 – 2x + 3)

7. –4ax(10 + 3x) 8. 3y(–4x – 6𝑥 3 – 2y) 9. 2𝑥 2 𝑦 2 (3xy + 2y + 5x)

Simplify each expression.


10. x(3x – 4) – 5x 11. –x(2𝑥 2 – 4x) – 6𝑥 2

12. 6a(2a – b) + 2a(–4a + 5b) 13. 4r(2𝑟 2 – 3r + 5) + 6r(4𝑟 2 + 2r + 8)

14. 4n(3𝑛2 + n – 4) – n(3 – n) 15. 2b(𝑏 2 + 4b + 8) – 3b(3𝑏 2 + 9b – 18)

16. –2z(4𝑧 2 – 3z + 1) – z(3𝑧 2 + 2z – 1) 17. 2(4𝑥 2 – 2x) – 3(–6𝑥 2 + 4) + 2x(x – 1)

Solve Equations with Polynomial Expressions Many equations contain polynomials that must be added, subtracted,
or multiplied before the equation can be solved.

Example: Solve 4(n – 2) + 5n = 6(3 – n) + 19.


4(n – 2) + 5n = 6(3 – n) + 19 Original equation
4n – 8 + 5n = 18 – 6n + 19 Distributive Property
9n – 8 = 37 – 6n Combine like terms.
15n – 8 = 37 Add 6n to each side.
15n = 45 Add 8 to each side.
n=3 Divide each side by 15.
The solution is 3.

Solve each equation.


1. 2(a – 3) = 3(–2a + 6) 2. 3(x + 5) – 6 = 18

3. 3x(x – 5) – 3𝑥 2 = –30 4. 6(𝑥 2 + 2x) = 2(3𝑥 2 + 12)

5. 4(2p + 1) – 12p = 2(8p + 12) 6. 2(6x + 4) + 2 = 4(x – 4)

7. –2(4y – 3) – 8y + 6 = 4(y – 2) 8. x(x + 2) – x(x – 6) = 10x – 12

9. 3(𝑥 2 – 2x) = 3𝑥 2 + 5x – 11 10. 2(4x + 3) + 2 = –4(x + 1)

11. 3(2h – 6) – (2h + 1) = 9 12. 3(y + 5) – (4y – 8) = –2y + 10

13. 3(2a – 6) – (–3a – 1) = 4a – 2 14. 5(2𝑥 2 – 1) – (10𝑥 2 – 6) = –(x + 2)

15. 3(x + 2) + 2(x + 1) = –5(x – 3) 16. 4(3𝑝2 + 2p) – 12𝑝2 = 2(8p + 6)
