Exploring Adding and Subtracting Rational Expressions

This video tutorial covers the multiplication of polynomials, focusing on binomials and trinomials. It introduces the FOIL method as a systematic approach to distribute terms and combine like terms. The tutorial includes several examples, ranging from basic to advanced, demonstrating the application of the FOIL method. Additionally, it explores multiplying binomials with trinomials and provides a geometric application to find the area of a shaded region using polynomial multiplication.

What is the first step in the FOIL method?

• Add the coefficients

• Distribute the outer term

• Combine like terms

• Multiply the inner terms
