What does it mean to multiply binomials?

Back

Multiplying binomials involves using the distributive property to find the product of two binomials, resulting in a polynomial.

What is the distributive property?

Back

The distributive property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac, allowing you to multiply a single term by each term in a binomial.
