If there is subtracting terms in either polynomial, change them to adding a negative. Each term in the first polynomial is multiplied by each term in the 2nd polynomial, then add all the resulting terms together (taking into account the signs of the resulting multiplications), simplify by combining like powers of the variable.
This is basically what you are doing when you multiply 2 numbers by hand, example: 997 x 42 = 41874
997
x 42
----- First you mutiply 2 x 7 = 14, put the 4 carry the 1, etc.
Imagine instead (4x + 2)(9x2 + 9x + 7) = 2*7 + 2*9*x + 2*9*x2 + (4*x)*7 + (4*x)*(9*x) + (4*x)*(9x2) = 14 + 46x + 54x2 + 36x3
For x = 10 --> 14 +460 + 5400 + 36000 = 41874.

It's the difference between multiplication and division. Multiplying binomials is combining them. Factoring polynomials is breaking them apart.

It means you multiply the binomial by itself. Multiplying polynomials requires multiplying every term of the first with every term of the second. For example, (a+b)2 = a2 + ab + ba + b2 = a2 + 2ab + b2.It means you multiply the binomial by itself. Multiplying polynomials requires multiplying every term of the first with every term of the second. For example, (a+b)2 = a2 + ab + ba + b2 = a2 + 2ab + b2.It means you multiply the binomial by itself.

Yes, because there is no way of multiplying two polynomials to get something that isn't a polynomial.
