multiply the polynomial by the monomial using the distributive property and or the product rule of exponents (7y) (5x^2+y)

1 answer

To multiply the polynomial by the monomial using the distributive property, you need to distribute the monomial to each term of the polynomial.

First, distribute 7y to each term of (5x^2 + y):
7y * 5x^2 = 35x^2y
7y * y = 7y^2

Therefore, the result of multiplying (7y) * (5x^2 + y) using the distributive property is:

35x^2y + 7y^2
