Question

Given and find .

$\A=x^2+1 \B=4x^2-1$

Answer

To find the product of two polynomials first set up the operation.

$\A=x^2+1 \B=4x^2-1$

Now, multiply each term from the first polynomial with each term in the second polynomial.

Remember the rules of exponents. When like base variables are multiplied together their exponents are added together.

$\x^2\cdot 4x^2=4x^{2+2}=4x^4 \x^2\cdot -1=-x^2 \1\cdot 4x^2=4x^2 \1\cdot -1=-1$

Therefore, the product of these polynomials is,

Question

If and , what is $A\cdot B$ ?

Answer

To find the product of two polynomials, first set up the operation.

$\A=2x^2+2 \B=4x^2-2$

$A\cdot B=(2x^2+2)(4x^2-2)$

Now, multiply each term in the first polynomial by each term in the second polynomial. One way to remember to work through this type of multiplication is by using the acronym FOIL: First, Outside, Inside, Last. You multiply the first numbers in each parenthetical with one another, then the numbers on the outside of the entire list (the first number in the first parenthetical and the last one in the second parenthetical), then the inside numbers (the two middle ones, the last number in the first parenthetical and the first number in the second parenthetical), and finally the last numbers in each parenthetical.

$A\cdot B=(2x^2\cdot 4x^2)+(2x^2\cdot-2)+(2\cdot4x^2)+(2\cdot-2)$

When exponential terms with the same bases are multiplied together, you add the exponents.

$(2x^2\cdot 4x^2)+(2x^2\cdot-2)+(2\cdot4x^2)+(2\cdot-2)=8x^4-4x^2+8x^2-4$

Combine like terms to arrive at the solution.

When the two polynomials are multiplied together, they equal .
