<p>We can multiply small polynomials using the method shown on <a href="polynomials-multiplying.html">Multiplying Polynomials</a></p>
<p>But when the polynomials have 3 or more terms it is often easier (and less likely to have a mistake) when we use a method similar to <a href="../numbers/multiplication-long.html">Long Multiplication for Numbers</a> (please read that page first).</p>
<h2>The Method</h2>
<p>Choose one polynomial (the longest is a good choice) and then:</p>
<ul>
<li>multiply it by <b>the first term</b> of the other polynomial, writing the result down</li>
<li>then multiply it by <b>the second term</b> of the other polynomial, writing the result under the matching terms from the first multiplication</li>
<li>then multiply it by <b>the third term</b> of the other polynomial (if any) etc ...</li>
<li>lastly, add up the columns.</li>
</ul>
<p>Laying the work out neatly in columns is the key, like this:</p>
<script type="text/javascript">playerMain("images/polynomials-multiply-long-a.txt",600,300);</script>
<p align="center"><i>(I wrote column headings of x, x<sup>2</sup> and x<sup>3</sup>, but you don't have to)</i></p>
<p>By <b>lining up the columns</b>, and being careful to <b>put the terms under the correct columns</b>, the job becomes &quot;automatic&quot;, and we can easily look back to see if we got it right, too.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>But what happens if a polynomial is missing, say, an <b>x</b> term or an <b>x<sup>2</sup></b> term? Just leave that column blank!</p>
<p>Here is a more complicated example, with blank gaps:</p>
<script type="text/javascript">playerMain("images/polynomials-multiply-long-b.txt",600,310);</script>
<h2>More than One Variable</h2>
<p>So far we have been multiplying polynomials with only one variable (<b>x</b>), but how do we handle polynomials with two or more variables (such as <b>x</b> and <b>y</b>)? What are the column headings?</p>
<p>Just ignore the columns in the question, write down the answers as they come, <b>always checking</b> to see if we could put an answer under a matching answer:</p>
<script type="text/javascript">playerMain("images/polynomials-multiply-long-c.txt",600,300);</script>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<script type="text/javascript">getQ(348, 349, 2415, 2416, 3217, 3218, 3219, 3887, 3888, 3889);</script>&nbsp;
