Today in math class, we learned about multiplying and diving polynomials. Here is an example that we worked on today.

Basically, it's like 2 and 3 are multiplying and x and x are multiplying.

PICTURE MODEL

The first factor is always on the left. **Exponent law for the multiplying

The second factor is always on the right. exponents is you ADD them**

We also started dividing Polynomials

**The thing that will mess you up MOST is remembering the variable and its exponent*

REMEMBER: The exponent law for diving is you subtract the exponents.

Positive divided by a negative = negative
