WEEK6-MATH10-polynomials

with multiple brackets you multiply one by one in order which I learned this week.
like terms are the most important in multiplying polynomials.

another thing I learned was area models. I was always used to algebra tiles but they’re the same idea.
so when youre multiplying polynomials you take the parts that are multiplying and put the first part on the side and the second part across the top of the rectangle. you match up the terms then you fill in the squares.
the last step is writing everything that in the square and collect like terms.

personally I prefer algebra tiles cause its something in more familiar and confortable with but I do think this method was easy to understand as well because Im a visual learner.
