Polynomials
When Adding or Subtracting Polynomials what do you look to combine?
Like Terms
When multiplying variables what do you do with their exponents?
Add them together
When raising an exponent to another exponent what do you do with the exponents?
Multiply them together
What does it mean to do distribution?
Multiply a term by every single term in the other polynomial
We used two methods for multiplying polynomials. Can you name both?
