Daily Standard & Essential Question MM1A2c :Add, subtract, multiply, and divide polynomials MM1A2g: use area and volume models for polynomials arithmetic Essential Question: What are the three special products and how can you quickly find each one?

There are formulas (shortcuts) that work for certain polynomial multiplication problems. (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2 (a - b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2 (a - b)(a + b) = a2 - b2 Being able to use these formulas will help you in the future when you have to factor. If you do not remember the formulas, you can always multiply using distributive, FOIL, or the area model method.

Let’s try one! 1) Multiply: (x + 4)2 You can multiply this by rewriting this as (x + 4)(x + 4) OR You can use the following rule as a shortcut: (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2 For comparison, I’ll show you both ways.

Notice you have two of the same answer? 1) Multiply (x + 4)(x + 4) Notice you have two of the same answer? x2 First terms: Outer terms: Inner terms: Last terms: Combine like terms. x2 +8x + 16 x +4 +4x +4x x2 +4x +16 +4x +16 Now let’s do it with the shortcut!

1) Multiply: (x + 4)2 using (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2 That’s why the 2 is in the formula! 1) Multiply: (x + 4)2 using (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2 a is the first term, b is the second term (x + 4)2 a = x and b = 4 Plug into the formula a2 + 2ab + b2 (x)2 + 2(x)(4) + (4)2 Simplify. x2 + 8x+ 16 This is the same answer!

2) Multiply: (3x + 2y)2 using (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2 a = 3x and b = 2y Plug into the formula a2 + 2ab + b2 (3x)2 + 2(3x)(2y) + (2y)2 Simplify 9x2 + 12xy +4y2

Multiply: (x – 5)2 using (a – b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2 Everything is the same except the signs! (x)2 – 2(x)(5) + (5)2 x2 – 10x + 25 4) Multiply: (4x – y)2 (4x)2 – 2(4x)(y) + (y)2 16x2 – 8xy + y2

Notice the middle terms eliminate each other! 5) Multiply (x – 3)(x + 3) Notice the middle terms eliminate each other! x2 First terms: Outer terms: Inner terms: Last terms: Combine like terms. x2 – 9 x -3 +3 +3x -3x x2 -3x -9 +3x -9 This is called the difference of squares.

5) Multiply (x – 3)(x + 3) using (a – b)(a + b) = a2 – b2 You can only use this rule when the binomials are exactly the same except for the sign. (x – 3)(x + 3) a = x and b = 3 (x)2 – (3)2 x2 – 9

7) Multiply: (5a + 6b)(5a – 6b) 6) Multiply: (y – 2)(y + 2) (y)2 – (2)2 y2 – 4 7) Multiply: (5a + 6b)(5a – 6b) (5a)2 – (6b)2 25a2 – 36b2
