Nothing New
Somethings never change! Remember the step-by-step process you learned for multiplying large numbers back in elementary school? Turns out that multiplying polynomials is basically the same process.
STEP 1: WATCH THE PLAYLIST OF EXAMPLE VIDEOS AND TAKE NOTES
Make sure to note the following:
When multiplying polynomials, each term in the first grouping multiplies with each term in the second grouping
Make sure that you simplify your final answer by combining any like terms.
