When you add polynomials, you combine only like terms together.
For example, (x^3+x^2)+(2x^2+x)= x^3+(1+2)x^2+x=x^3+3x^2+x
When you multiply polynomials, you multiply all pairs of terms together.
(x^2+x)(x^3+x)=(x^2)(x^3)+(x^2)(x)+(x)(x^3)+(x)(x)=x^5+x^3+x^4+x^2
Basically, in addition you look at like terms to simplify. In multiplication, you multiply each term individually with every term on the opposite side, ignoring like terms.

How is multiplying fractions by a whole number is different from adding adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators?
Adding and subtracting fractions can ONLY be done if the denominators are the same; then the calculation is done by adding or subtracting the numerators. Multiplying (and dividing) fractions does not require the denominators to be the same. To divide by a fraction the divisor is inverted (the original numerator becomes the new denominator and the original denominator becomes the new numerator) and then the fractions are multiplied. Multiplying fractions is achieved by multiplying the numerators together AND multiplying the denominators together. A whole number is the same as a fraction with the whole number as the numerator and a denominator of 1, so when multiplying by a whole number the denominator is multiplied by 1 (leaving it the same) and the is multiplication is effectively just multiplying the numerator by the whole number.

When adding polynomials what do you do to the exponents?
You keep them the same if they have different bases
What are the operation of polynomials?
Adding and subtracting polynomials is simply the adding and subtracting of their like terms.
What is the distributive property when multiplying polynomials?
You just multiply the term to the polynomials and you combine lije terms

What is the difference multiplying binomials with factoring polynomials into binomial factors?
It's the difference between multiplication and division. Multiplying binomials is combining them. Factoring polynomials is breaking them apart.
Is there a limit on how many x squared you can use in multiplying polynomials?
No.
How are adding subtracting decimals different from multiplying them?
They aren't. The rules are the same as those for adding/subtracting or multiplying integers. Just be careful of the decimal point's location.
Is area multiplying or adding?
multiplying. adding is permeter. sorry bout my spelling. not the best at it
Do you always use the property of distribution when multiplying monomials and polynomials?
Yes.
How is adding polynomials like adding integers?
The numbers can have a positive or negative sign.
