How many terms do a binomial has?
bi- = 2 Binomials have two terms.
What is an acronym for the terms used when two binomials are multiplied?
FOIL. First terms Outer terms Inner terms Last terms
What is a method for multiplying two binomials?
Depends on the kind of binomials. Case 1: If both binomials have different terms, then use the distribution property. Each term of one binomial will multiply both terms of the other binomial. After distribution, combine like terms, and it's done. Case 2: If both binomials have exactly the same terms, then work as in the 1st case, or use the formula for suaring a binomial, (a ± b)2 = a2 ± 2ab + b2. Case 3: If both binomials have terms that only differ in sign, then work as in the 1st case, or use the formula for the sum and the difference of the two terms, (a - b)(a + b) = a2 - b2.
Is (a-3) a the sum of two terms?

Is x2 plus 27 a polynomial?
Yes, although we generally refer to polynomials with two terms, like this one, as binomials.
