Make sure that each polynomial is written is DESCENDING order.

To multiply two polynomials, you apply the distributive property, also known as the FOIL method for binomials. Each term in the first polynomial is multiplied by each term in the second polynomial. After performing all the multiplications, you combine like terms to simplify the resulting polynomial. Finally, ensure that the polynomial is written in standard form, with terms ordered by decreasing degree.
To factor a polynomial expression, you identify common factors among the terms and express the polynomial as a product of simpler polynomials. For example, consider the polynomial ( x^2 - 5x + 6 ); it factors into ( (x - 2)(x - 3) ). Each factor is written in descending order, starting with the highest degree term. The specific steps to factor will depend on the polynomial you are working with.
A general polynomial does not have 12 specific terms. A polynomial of degree n, in a variable x, can be written as P(x) = anxn + an-1xn-1 + ... + a1x + a0 where n is a non-negative integer and {a0, a1, ... , an} are constants. If, and only if, n = 11 will the polynomial have 12 terms but others will not.
A polynomial is written in descending order when its terms are arranged from the highest degree to the lowest degree. For example, (4x^3 + 2x^2 - x + 5) is in descending order. Conversely, a polynomial is in ascending order when its terms are organized from the lowest degree to the highest degree, such as (5 - x + 2x^2 + 4x^3). In both cases, the coefficients of each term remain associated with their respective powers of the variable.
Basically, a rational expression is one that can be written as one polynomial, divided by another polynomial.

irreducible polynomial prime...i know its the same as irreducible but on mymathlab you would select prime
