Algebra : Multiplying Polynomials Quiz

This quiz assesses whether or not a student can multiply polynomials. The polynomial factors are limited to monomials and binomials.


Example:
4x(2y - 3)
Solution:
Students should use the distributive and commutative properties of multiplication to expand each product.
4x(2y - 3)
= (4x)(2y) - (4x)(3) (distributive property)
= (4)(2)(x)(y) - (4)(3)(x) (commutative property)
= 8xy - 12x
