Multiplying and Dividing Monomials.

In class we learned how to multiply and divide monomials. We started off by doing some easy integer questions.

Multiplying monomials:

To start off we did a four questions they were:

(3)(2)= 6

(-4)(4)= -16

(-7)(-3)=21

(5)(-6)= -30

then we got to harder questions

3(2x)= 6x "this means 3 groups of 2x"

we had to model it after wards

-4(3x)=-12x

(-3y)(-2x)= 6xy

"I think that the answer turned out to be xy because if you multiply two numbers with different variables you're answer has to have a degree of two."

(3x)(-3x) = -9x^2 (squared)

"This is one became squared because if you multiply two variables and they are both the same you get 2nd degree or squared"

Dividing Monomials:

Similar to Multiplication we had to do some questions.

6/3= 3

-8/4=(-2)

16/-8= -2

-15/-3= 5.

6x/3= 2x

How to model division monomials.

very similar to the multiplication model.

-4xy/-2x= 2y

"how?''

'' since there are two x's both of them get canceled out, leaving you with just the variable y''

-6y^2/2y= -3y

"since there were two y's on the first one, one gets canceled out and only one is left"

Not everything can get modeled for example:

-6^3/ -2x= 3x^2

"The reason for that is because we don't have anything to represent a cube."
