3-2 Multiplying Polynomials
To multiply any two polynomials, use the Distributive Property and multiply each term in the second polynomial by each term in the first.
Keep in mind that if one polynomial has m terms and the other has n terms, then the product has mn terms before it is simplified.

Find the product.
Example 2A: Multiplying Polynomials
Method 2 Multiply vertically.
Write each polynomial in standard form.Multiply (a2 – 5a + 2) by –3.
a2 – 5a + 2 a – 3
– 3a2 + 15a – 6
Multiply (a2 – 5a + 2) by a, and align like terms.
a3 – 5a2 + 2a
