Exponents and Polynomial Multiplication
Positive Integral Exponents
If n is a positive integer and x is a real number, then n factors of x equals to x multiply n times, where x is the base and n is the power or the exponent.

Example
Product of two Monomials
The product of two monomials made by regroup the coeffcients and variables, then multiplying the coefficients, and similar base by adding their exponents, if there is a variable whose
similar term is not exist, then keep this variable as a factor of the product.
Example
Product of Monomial and Polynomial
To multiply a polynomial by a monomial, multiply each term of the polynomial by the monomial. This fundamental law is known as the distributive law.
Example
Product of Two Polynomials
To multiply polynomials by each other follow the procedure: 1. Arrange each polynomial in decending order. 2. Multiply each term of one polynomial by each term of the other polynomial. 3. Add like terms.
Example
The law of a square minus b square
The law of a square minus b square is the products of a plus b and a minus b, in which a, b are real numbers.
Example
Square a Binomial
The square of a binomial is the sum of the square of the first term, twice the product of the two terms, and the square of the second term.
