The exponent rules are needed in order to perform operations onpolynomials. In your own words:
Explain what a polynomial is and identify the different parts of apolynomial
Explain the different labels used to categorize polynomials
Explain how addition and subtraction of polynomials isaccomplished
When multiplying polynomials, we are taking every term of onepolynomial and multiplying them by every term of the secondpolynomial, then collecting like terms- explain how foil helps usto accomplish this, and what category of polynomials foil appliesto
There are two special case products where the product takes onspecial patterns- explain these two cases and when they occur
For each of the two special cases, illustrate your explanation withan appropriate exercise from the text (note the pg. and exercisenumber in your post), showing how the multiplication is performedusing the special pattern formula, then also showing the sameresult using foil.
