# How to Multiply a Polynomial and a Monomial? (+FREE Worksheet!)

Learn how to multiply monomials to polynomials using the distributive property and the multiplication property of exponents.

## Step by step guide to Multiplying a Polynomial and a Monomial

• When multiplying monomials, use the product rule for exponents.
• When multiplying a monomial by a polynomial, use the distributive property.

### Multiplying a Polynomial and a Monomial – Example 1:

Multiply expressions. $$2x(-2x+4)=$$

Solution:

Use Distributive Property: $$\color{blue}{a \ (b \ + \ c)=ab \ + \ ac}$$

Then: $$2x(-2x+4)=-4x^2+8x$$

### Multiplying a Polynomial and a Monomial – Example 2:

Multiply expressions. $$-2x(3x^2+4y^2 )=$$

Solution:

Use Distributive Property: $$\color{blue}{a \ (b \ + \ c)=ab \ + \ ac}$$

Then: $$-2x(3x^2+4y^2 )=-6x^3-8xy^2$$

### Multiplying a Polynomial and a Monomial – Example 3:

Multiply expressions. $$-4x(5x+9)=$$

Solution:

Use Distributive Property: $$\color{blue}{a \ (b \ + \ c)=ab \ + \ ac}$$

Then: $$-4x(5x+9)=-20x^2-36x$$

### Multiplying a Polynomial and a Monomial – Example 4:

Multiply expressions. $$2x(6x^2-3y^2 )=$$

Solution:

Use Distributive Property: $$\color{blue}{a \ (b \ + \ c)=ab \ + \ ac}$$

Then: $$2x(6x^2-3y^2 )=12x^3-6xy^2$$
