This document provides instructions for multiplying polynomials in algebra. It explains how to use the distributive property to multiply a monomial by a polynomial by distributing the monomial to each term of the polynomial. It also explains how to use the FOIL method (First, Outer, Inner, Last) when multiplying two binomials together and stresses that when multiplying polynomials, only like terms can be combined by adding or subtracting their coefficients.
