Multiplying Monomials

　　To multiply two monomials, multiply the coefficients and add the power of the variables.

　　By multiplying 3x and 4x, we get (4*3)x∧(1+1)=12x2.

　　By multiply 3x and 4y, we get (4*3)xy=12xy.

　　Remember:

　　Do not forget to add the powers of the same variable.

　　The terms need not be like terms to be multiplied.

　　Coefficient

　　A constant multiplier of a variable is known as coefficient. They are typically represented by letters a,b,c.

　　Example:

　　In the expression 3x+5,3 is the coefficient of x.

　　In the equation 4x+2y=6,4 is the coefficient of x and 2 is the coefficient of y.

　　In the inequality 2*sin(x)+3>z,2 is the coefficient of the function sin(x).

　　Remember:

　　Coefficient cannot change its value.
