How to Multiply a Monomial by a Binomial?
To multiply a monomial by a binomial, use the Distributive Property. Also, you can use the special product identities below to multiply two binomials. Special Identities (a + b)(a + b) = (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2 (a b)(a b) = (a b)2 = a2 2ab + b2 (a + b)(a b) = a2 b2 (a + b)3 = a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3 (a b)3 = a3 3a2b + 3ab2 b3 Dividing Monomials. To divide a monomial by another monomial, follow the steps below. (1) Divide the signs of the monomials. (2) Divide the coefficients of the monomials. (3) Divide the like variables. Use the rule for the division of variables with exponents. To do this, subtract the exponents of like variables. Scientific Notation. In many subjects, we deal with very small or very large numbers. To present such numbers in an easy way, we use a certain method called scientific notation. Using this way, we can write the distances between galaxies or the mass of an atom in forms that can be read easily. When is a Number in Scientific Notation? We can write positive
