Learn the essential techniques for multiplying algebraic expressions, including how to properly manage exponents when multiplying like variables. This guide covers key methods such as the FOIL method, the distributive property, and the array method for multiplying binomials. Explore shortcuts like the binomial square and the sum and difference of two terms. By following organized steps and best practices, such as keeping variables in alphabetic order, you'll be better equipped to simplify and combine like terms.

Multiplying Algebraic Expressions Sometimes you will have imbedded brackets in a multiplication problem. Change signs and combine like terms first and you will save some unnecessary steps EXAMPLE # 9: As you can see, I dropped the parens because there was nothing outside them that affected them, I then combined any like terms, and used FOIL to multiply the two resulting binomials…
