This lesson will study the operation of multiplying a polynomial by a monomial, which is the basis for studying the multiplication of polynomials. Let us recall the distribution law of multiplication and formulate the rule for multiplying any polynomial by a monomial. Let us also recall some properties of the degrees. In addition, will be formulated typical errors when performing various examples.

Topic:Polynomials. Arithmetic operations on monomials

Lesson:Multiplication of a polynomial by a monomial. Typical tasks

The operation of multiplying a polynomial by a monomial is the basis for considering the operation of multiplying a polynomial by a polynomial, and you must first learn how to multiply a polynomial by a monomial in order to understand the multiplication of polynomials.

The basis of this operation is the distribution law of multiplication. Let's remind him:

In essence, we see the rule for multiplying a polynomial, in this case a binomial, by a monomial, and this rule can be formulated as follows: in order to multiply a polynomial by a monomial, each term of the polynomial must be multiplied by this monomial. Add the algebraically obtained products, and then perform over the polynomial necessary actions- namely, bring it to standard view.

Let's consider an example:

A comment: given example is solved by exactly following the rule: each term of the polynomial is multiplied by a monomial. In order to understand and master the distribution law well, in this example, the terms of the polynomial were replaced by x and y, respectively, and the monomial by c, after which an elementary action was performed in accordance with the distribution law and the substitution of the initial values ​​was performed. You should be careful with the signs and correctly multiply by minus one.

Consider an example of multiplying a trinomial by a monomial and make sure that it is no different from the same operation with a binomial:

Let's move on to solving examples:

Commentary: this example is solved according to the distribution law and is similar to the previous example - each member of the polynomial is multiplied by a monomial, the resulting polynomial is already written in a standard form, so it cannot be simplified.

Example 2 - perform actions and get a polynomial in standard form:

Commentary: to solve this example, first we will multiply for the first and second binomials according to the distribution law, then we will bring the resulting polynomial to the standard form - we will bring similar terms.

Now we will formulate the main problems associated with the operation of multiplying a polynomial by a monomial, and give examples of their solution.

Objective1 is to simplify the expression:

Commentary: this example is solved similarly to the previous one, namely, first, the multiplication of polynomials by the corresponding monomials is performed, after which similar ones are reduced.

Task 2 is to simplify and calculate:

Example 1 :;

Commentary: this example is solved similarly to the previous one, with the only addition that after bringing similar members, you need to substitute its specific value instead of a variable and calculate the value of the polynomial. Recall to easily multiply decimal by ten, you need to move the comma one place to the right.

A special case of multiplying a polynomial by a polynomial is multiplying a polynomial by a monomial. In this article, we will formulate a rule for performing this action and analyze the theory with practical examples.

The rule of multiplying a polynomial by a monomial

Let's figure out what is the basis of multiplying a polynomial by a monomial. This action relies on the distributive property of multiplication relative to addition. Literally, this property is written as follows: (a + b) c = a c + b c (a, b and c- some numbers). In this entry, the expression (a + b) c is precisely the product of the polynomial (a + b) and the monomial c... The right side of equality a c + b c is the sum of the products of monomials a and b on a monomial c.

The above reasoning allows us to formulate a rule for multiplying a polynomial by a monomial:

Definition 1

To carry out the action of multiplying a polynomial by a monomial, it is necessary:

  • write down the product of a polynomial and a monomial, which must be multiplied;
  • multiply each term of the polynomial by a given monomial;
  • find the sum of the works received.

Let us additionally explain the above algorithm.

To compose the product of a polynomial by a monomial, the original polynomial is enclosed in parentheses; then the multiplication sign is placed between it and the given monomial. In the case when the record of a monomial begins with a minus sign, it must also be enclosed in parentheses. For example, the product of a polynomial - 4 x 2 + x - 2 and monomial 7 y write as (- 4 x 2 + x - 2) 7 y, and the product of a polynomial a 5 b - 6 a b and monomial - 3 a 2 compose in the form: (a 5 b - 6 a b) (- 3 a 2).

The next step of the algorithm is to multiply each term of the polynomial by a given monomial. The components of the polynomial are monomials, i.e. in fact, we need to perform the multiplication of a monomial by a monomial. Suppose that after the first step of the algorithm we got the expression (2 x 2 + x + 3) 5 x, then in the second step we multiply each term of the polynomial 2 x 2 + x + 3 with monomial 5 x, thus obtaining: 2 x 2 5 x = 10 x 3, x 5 x = 5 x 2 and 3 5 x = 15 x... The result will be monomials 10 x 3, 5 x 2 and 15 x.

The last action according to the rule is the addition of the received works. From the proposed example, after completing this step of the algorithm, we get: 10 x 3 + 5 x 2 + 15 x.

By default, all steps are written as a chain of equalities. For example, finding the product of the polynomial 2 x 2 + x + 3 and monomial 5 x we write it like this: (2 x 2 + x + 3) 5 x = 2 x 2 5 x + x 5 x + 3 5 x = 10 x 3 + 5 x 2 + 15 x. Eliminating the intermediate calculation of the second step, a short solution can be formulated as follows: (2 x 2 + x + 3) 5 x = 10 x 3 + 5 x 2 + 15 x.

The examples considered make it possible to notice important nuance: as a result of multiplying a polynomial and a monomial, a polynomial is obtained. This statement is true for any multiplicable polynomial and monomial.

By analogy, multiplication of a monomial by a polynomial is carried out: a given monomial is multiplied with each member of the polynomial and the resulting products are summed up.

Examples of multiplying a polynomial by a monomial

Example 1

It is necessary to find the product: 1, 4 · x 2 - 3, 5 · y · - 2 7 · x.

Solution

The first step of the rule has already been completed - the piece has been recorded. Now we carry out the next step, multiplying each term of the polynomial by the given monomial. In this case, it is convenient to first translate decimal fractions of ordinary ones. Then we get:

1,4 x 2 - 3,5 y - 2 7 x = 1,4 x 2 - 2 7 x - 3,5 y - 2 7 x = = - 1,4 2 7 x 2 x + 3, 5 2 7 x y = - 7 5 2 7 x 3 + 7 5 2 7 x y = - 2 5 x 3 + x y

Answer: 1, 4 x 2 - 3.5 y - 2 7 x = - 2 5 x 3 + x y.

Let us clarify that when the original polynomial and / or monomial are given in non-standard form, before finding their work, it is advisable to bring them to a standard form.

Example 2

Polynomial 3 + a - 2 a 2 + 3 a - 2 and monomial - 0.5 a b (- 2) a... It is necessary to find their work.

Solution

We see that the initial data is presented in a non-standard form, therefore, for the convenience of further calculations, we will bring them into a standard form:

- 0.5 a b (- 2) a = (- 0.5) (- 2) (a a) b = 1 a 2 b = a 2 b 3 + a - 2 a 2 + 3 a - 2 = (3 - 2) + (a + 3 a) - 2 a 2 = 1 + 4 a - 2 a 2

Now we carry out the multiplication of the monomial a 2 b for each term of the polynomial 1 + 4 a - 2 a 2

a 2 b (1 + 4 a - 2 a 2) = a 2 b 1 + a 2 b 4 a + a 2 b (- 2 a 2) = = a 2 B + 4 a 3 b - 2 a 4 b

We could not have brought the initial data to a standard form: the solution in this case would be more cumbersome. In this case, the last step would arise the need to bring such members. For understanding, we will give a solution according to this scheme:

- 0.5 a b (- 2) a (3 + a - 2 a 2 + 3 a - 2) = = - 0.5 a b (- 2) a 3 - 0.5 a b (- 2) a a - 0.5 a b (- 2) a (- 2 a 2) - 0.5 a b (- 2) a 3 a - 0.5 a b (- 2) a (- 2) = = 3 a 2 b + a 3 b - 2 a 4 b + 3 a 3 b - 2 a 2 b = a 2 b + 4 a 3 b - 2 a 4 b

Answer: - 0.5 a b (- 2) a (3 + a - 2 a 2 + 3 a - 2) = a 2 b + 4 a 3 b - 2 a 4 b.

If the numbers are denoted by different letters, then one can only denote from the work; let, for example, it is necessary to multiply the number a by the number b, - we can denote this either by a ∙ b or ab, but there can be no question of how to somehow perform this multiplication. However, when we are dealing with monomials, then, due to 1) the presence of coefficients and 2) the fact that the composition of these monomials can include factors designated by the same letters, it is possible to talk about the multiplication of monomials; this possibility is even wider for polynomials. Let's look at a number of cases where it is possible to perform multiplication, starting with the simplest one.

1. Multiplication of powers with the same bases... Let, for example, require a 3 ∙ a 5. Knowing the meaning of exponentiation, we will write the same in more detail:

a ∙ a ∙ a ∙ a ∙ a ∙ a ∙ a ∙ a

Looking at this detailed entry, we see that we have written a by a factor of 8, or, in short, a 8. So, a 3 ∙ a 5 = a 8.

Let b 42 ∙ b 28 be required. One would have to write first the factor b 42 times, and then again the factor b 28 times - in general, we would get that b is taken by a factor of 70 times. i.e. b 70. So, b 42 ∙ b 28 = b 70. From this it is already clear that when multiplying degrees with the same bases, the base of the degree remains unchanged, and the exponents are added. If we have a 8 ∙ a, then we have to keep in mind that the factor a implies an exponent of 1 (“a in the first power”), - therefore, a 8 ∙ a = a 9.

Examples: x ∙ x 3 ∙ x 5 = x 9; a 11 ∙ a 22 ∙ a 33 = a 66; 3 5 ∙ 3 6 ∙ 3 = 3 12; (a + b) 3 ∙ (a + b) 4 = (a + b) 7; (3x - 1) 4 ∙ (3x - 1) = (3x - 1) 5, etc.

Sometimes you have to deal with degrees, the exponents of which are indicated by letters, for example, xn (x to the power n). Expressions like these take some getting used to. Here are some examples:

Let us explain some of these examples: bn - 3 ∙ b 5 base b should be left unchanged, and the indicators should be added, that is, (n - 3) + (+5) = n - 3 + 5 = n + 2. Of course, such additions must be learned to do quickly in the mind.

Another example: x n + 2 ∙ x n - 2, - the base x should be left unchanged, and the exponent should be added, i.e. (n + 2) + (n - 2) = n + 2 + n - 2 = 2n.

You can above the found order, how to perform multiplication of powers with the same bases, can now be expressed by equality:

a m ∙ a n = a m + n

2. Multiplication of a monomial by a monomial. Suppose, for example, you want 3a²b³c ∙ 4ab²d². We see that here one multiplication is indicated by a dot, but we know that the same multiplication sign is meant between 3 and a², between a² and b³, between b³ and c, between 4 and a, between a and b², between b² and d². Therefore, we can see the product of 8 factors here and can multiply them by any groups in any order. Let us rearrange them so that the coefficients and degrees with the same bases are next to each other, i.e.

3 ∙ 4 ∙ a² ∙ a ∙ b³ ∙ b² ∙ c ∙ d².

Then we can multiply 1) the coefficients and 2) the degrees with the same bases and get 12a³b5cd².

So, when multiplying a monomial by a monomial, we can multiply the coefficients and degrees with the same bases, and the rest of the factors have to be rewritten without change.

More examples:

3. Multiplication of a polynomial by a monomial. Suppose you must first some polynomial, for example, a - b - c + d multiplied by a positive integer, for example, +3. Because positive numbers are considered to be the same as arithmetic, then it is the same as (a - b - c + d) ∙ 3, i.e. a - b - c + d is taken 3 times as a term, or

(a - b - c + d) ∙ (+3) = a - b - c + d + a - b - c + d + a - b - c + d = 3a - 3b - 3c + 3d,

that is, as a result, each term of the polynomial had to be multiplied by 3 (or +3).

Hence follows:

(a - b - c + d) ÷ (+3) = a - b - c + d,

that is, each term of the polynomial had to be divided by (+3). Also, summarizing, we get:

etc.

Now let it be necessary to multiply (a - b - c + d) by a positive fraction, for example, by +. It's like multiplying by an arithmetic fraction, which means taking the parts of (a - b - c + d). Taking one fifth of this polynomial is easy: you need to divide (a - b - c + d) by 5, and we already know how to do this, - we get ... It remains to repeat the result obtained 3 times or multiply by 3, i.e.

As a result, we see that we had to multiply each term of the polynomial by or by +.

Now let it be necessary to multiply (a - b - c + d) by negative number, whole or fractional,

i.e., in this case, each term of the polynomial had to be multiplied by -.

Thus, whatever the number m, always (a - b - c + d) ∙ m = am - bm - cm + dm.

Since each monomial is a number, here we see an indication of how to multiply a polynomial by a monomial - each term of the polynomial must be multiplied by this monomial.

4. Multiplying a polynomial by a polynomial... Let it be necessary (a + b + c) ∙ (d + e). Since d and e stand for numbers, so (d + e) ​​expresses any one number.

(a + b + c) ∙ (d + e) ​​= a (d + e) ​​+ b (d + e) ​​+ c (d + e)

(we can explain it this way: we have the right to temporarily take d + e for a monomial).

Ad + ae + bd + be + cd + ce

As a result, you can change the order of the members.

(a + b + c) ∙ (d + e) ​​= ad + bd + ed + ae + be + ce,

that is, to multiply a polynomial by a polynomial, you have to multiply each term of one polynomial by each term of the other. It is convenient (for this, the order of the obtained terms was changed above) to multiply each term of the first polynomial first by the first term of the second (by + d), then by the second term of the second (by + e), then, if it were, by the third, etc. . d .; after that, you should make the casting of similar members.

In these examples, the binomial is multiplied by the binomial; in each binomial, the terms are arranged in descending powers of a letter common to both binomials. Such multiplications are easy to perform in your head and immediately write the final result.

From the multiplication of the leading term of the first binomial by the senior term of the second, ie 4x² by 3x, we obtain 12x³ the senior term in the product - there will obviously not be any similar to it. Next, we are looking for, from the multiplication of which terms, we get terms with less than 1 power of the letter x, that is, with x². We can easily see that such terms are obtained from multiplying the 2nd term of the first factor by the 1st term of the second and from multiplying the 1st term of the first factor by the 2nd term of the second (the brackets at the bottom of the example indicate this). It is not difficult to perform these multiplications in the mind and also to perform the reduction of these two similar terms (after which we get the term –19x²). Then we notice that the next term containing the letter x to a power of 1 less, that is, x to the 1st power, will be obtained only from multiplying the second term by the second, and there will be no similar ones.

Another example: (x² + 3x) (2x - 7) = 2x³ - x² - 21x.

It is also easy to mentally do examples like the following:

The senior term is obtained by multiplying the senior term by the senior, there will be no similar terms to it, and it = 2a³. Then we look for which multiplications will result in terms with a² - from the multiplication of the 1st term (a²) by the 2nd (–5) and from the multiplication of the second term (–3a) by the 1st (2a) - this is indicated below in parentheses; performing these multiplications and combining the resulting terms into one, we get –11a². Then we look for which multiplications will result in terms with a in the first degree - these multiplications are marked with parentheses above. After completing them and combining the resulting terms into one, we get + 11a. Finally, note that the least significant term in the product (+10), which does not contain a at all, is obtained by multiplying the least significant term (–2) of one polynomial by the least significant term (–5) of the other.

Another example: (4a 3 + 3a 2 - 2a) ∙ (3a 2 - 5a) = 12a 5 - 11a 4 - 21a 3 + 10a 2.

From all the previous examples, we also get the general result: the leading term of the product is always obtained from the multiplication of the leading terms of the factors, and there can be no similar terms; also, the lowest term of the product is obtained from the multiplication of the lowest terms of the factors, and there cannot be similar terms.

The rest of the terms obtained by multiplying a polynomial by a polynomial may be similar, and it may even happen that all these terms are mutually annihilated, and only the older and younger ones remain.

Here are some examples:

(a² + ab + b²) (a - b) = a³ + a²b + ab² - a²b - ab² - b³ = a³ - b³
(a² - ab + b²) (a - b) = a³ - a²b + ab² + a²b - ab² + b³ = a³ + b³
(a³ + a²b + ab² + b³) (a - b) = a 4 - b 4 (write only the result)
(x 4 - x³ + x² - x + 1) (x + 1) = x 5 + 1 etc.

These results are noteworthy and useful to remember.

The following case of multiplication is especially important:

(a + b) (a - b) = a² + ab - ab - b² = a² - b²
or (x + y) (x - y) = x² + xy - xy - y² = x² - y²
or (x + 3) (x - 3) = x² + 3x - 3x - 9 = x² - 9, etc.

In all these examples, when applied to arithmetic, we have the product of the sum of two numbers by their difference, and the result is the difference of the squares of these numbers.

If we see a similar case, then there is no need to perform the multiplication in detail, as was done above, but you can immediately write the result.

For example, (3a + 1) ∙ (3a - 1). Here the first factor, from the point of view of arithmetic, is the sum of two numbers: the first number is 3a and the second is 1, and the second factor is the difference of the same numbers; therefore, the result should be: the square of the first number (that is, 3a ∙ 3a = 9a²) minus the square of the second number (1 ∙ 1 = 1), that is.

(3a + 1) ∙ (3a - 1) = 9a² - 1.

Also

(ab - 5) ∙ (ab + 5) = a²b² - 25, etc.

So let's remember

(a + b) (a - b) = a² - b²

that is, the product of the sum of two numbers by their difference is equal to the difference of the squares of these numbers.
