6.6: Multiplying and Dividing Polynomials

Bell Ringer:

Multiply: 3x(x + 2)

Mini Lesson:

• Multiplying a Monomial: Use distributive property: a(b + c) = ab + ac
  
  

• Dividing by a Monomial: Divide each term separately
  
  

• Model with area models or tiles where possible.
  
  

Examples:

1. 2x(x + 4)
   
   

(6x² + 12x) ÷ 3x
