3. Multiplying Polynomials
Sign In
Apply the Distributive Property.
x^2-10xy+25y^2
We can find the product of this expression using polynomial identities. In this case, we have the square of a binomial. We will first rewrite the square as the product and then apply the Distributive Property.
a^2=a* a
Distribute (x-5y)
Distribute x
Distribute -5y
Subtract term
(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2
(a b)^m=a^m b^m
