Directions - Simplify your answer ( 4 x - 7 w - 5 )  ( 6 x + w + 7 ) The answer 24 x 2 - 38 wx - 2x - 7 w 2 - 54 w -35 And yes, that is the correct answer.  And yes, I came up with it all by myself.  And yes, I'm feeling pretty damn proud of myself right about now!

The instructions say, Multiply a univariate polynomial by a monomial with a positive coefficient.

(- 5 y 2   + 4 y - 6 ) + ( 3 y 2 + 2 y + 1 ) Holy cow!  If these math problems get any longer, I'm going to have to buy wider paper.

Polynomial I can really savor the sound of certain words.  Even math vocabulary! And they are so pretty too! Can you tell I'm a right brain creature?  I have to find my niche were I can.
