Let's hear it for MULTIPLYING monomials: Multiplying monomials is easy as long as you think in terms of what the exponents really mean. For example: So if we want to multiply X^3 times x^5 we are really looking at this: (x)(x)(x) times (x)(x)(x)(x)(x) which equals Now let's try one with several different variables: x^2y times z^3xy^6 Now let's see what
happens when we incorporate numerical coefficients in the front of each
monomial. *JUST A REMINDER: remember that the coefficient on the term -x is (-1). Even though you don't see it, it is "understood" to be there. Now you try a few. Click the answer link to see if you are right.
