If you have like terms then to multiply you add the exponents and to divide you subtract.So, x2 * x3 = x5 and y7 / y5 = y2Also, for example, 2x2 * x3 = 2x5 (we can do this as the terms are like; x's only)But if you do not have like terms then this does not apply.For example, x2 * y3 does not equal xy5.
Degree = 3 # terms = 3
your equation is this... x3 + 5x2 = 6x get all the terms on the left side x3 + 5x2 - 6x = 0 now factor out an "x" x(x2 + 5x - 6) = 0 now factor the equation inside x(x + 6)(x - 1) from this you can find your x-values x= 0, -6, and 1 now that you have your x-values your equation is solved. just use algebra to get all of the terms on the one side. then factor out anything that is common in all of the terms. then factor the polynomial. then find what values for "x" that satisfy the equation.
The Distributive Property helps with mental math and should be taught to children as a method to multiply much quicker in their heads. The method is FOIL for First Outside Inside Last (x3+x2)(x+1) <--- think of the (x+1) as a separate term and distribute x3(x+1) + x2(x+1) <---intermediate step not usually written x3(x) + x3(1) + x2(x) + x2(1) <---multiply and collect like terms F O I L x4 + 2x3 + x2
