Multiplication of Monomial & Trinomial

Multiplication of Two or more Monomials Multiplication of Two or more Binomials Multiplication of Two or more Trinomials Multiplication of Monomial & Binomial Multiplication of Monomial & Trinomial
Multiplication of Binomial & Trinomial

Before you understand this concept, you are advised to read:

What are Monomials & Binomials ?
What are Terms of Polynomial ?

While multiplying a monomial and a trinomial you will find following situations:

  • Multiply Monomial and Trinomial
    Example 1: Multiply 5a and (a + b + c)
    Example 2: Multiply 3p and (p2 + p - 2)

  • Multiply Trinomial and Monomial
    Example 3: Multiply (4q2 - 2q + 8) and 2q
    Example 4: Multiply (a + b - c) and z


    Multiply Monomial and Trinomial

    Example 1: Multiply 5a and (a + b + c)
    Solution: As per given question:

    Monomial = 5a
    Trinomial = (a + b + c)

    Write in the multiplication expression and we get:
    5a (a + b + c)

    Use Distributive Law and multiply monomial with every term of trinomial & this is done in the following steps:
    = (5a X a) +(5a X b) + (5a X c)
    = 5a2 + 5ab + 5ac

    Hence, 5a (a + b + c) = 5a2 + 5ab + 5ac

    Example 2: Multiply 3p and (p2 + p - 2)
    Solution: As per given question:

    Monomial = 3p
    Trinomial = (p2 + p - 2)

    Write in the multiplication expression and we get:
    3p (p2 + p - 2)

    Use Distributive Law and multiply monomial with every term of trinomial & this is done in the following steps:
    = (3p X p2) + (3p X p) - (3p X 2)
    = 3p3 + 3p2 - 6p

    Hence, 3p (p2 + p - 2) = 3p3 + 3p2 - 6p


    Multiply Trinomial and Monomial

    Example 3: Multiply (4q2 - 2q + 8) and 2q
    Solution: As per given question:

    Trinomial = (4q2 - 2q + 8)
    Monomial = 2q

    Write in the multiplication expression and we get:
    (4q2 - 2q + 8) 2q

    Use Distributive Law and multiply monomial with every term of trinomial & this is done in the following steps:
    = (4q2 X 2q) - (2q X 2q) + (8 X 2q)
    = 8q3 - 4q2 + 16q

    Hence, (4q2 - 2q + 8) 2q = 8q3 - 4q2 + 16q

    Example 4: Multiply (a + b - c) and z
    Solution: As per given question:

    Trinomial = (a + b - c)
    Monomial = z

    Write in the multiplication expression and we get:
    (a + b - c) z

    Use Distributive Law and multiply monomial with every term of trinomial & this is done in the following steps:
    = (a X z) + (b X z) - (c X z)
    = az + bz - cz

    Hence, (a + b - c) z = az + bz - cz
