Do you always use the property of distribution when multiplying monomials and polynomials? Explain why or why not. In what situations would distribution become important?

Yes you always need to use the property of distribution to multiply two or more polynomials together. This ensures that no terms are skipped and that the final result is the entire product of the two or more polynomials. The only real exception to this rule when you have two or more monomials, where there are not any polynomials. This means that you can just multiply the monomials in any order that you really can. Distribution becomes important when you have a simple 2 degree polynomial, and then you have to multiply by another 2 or 3 degree polynomial. It is important to keep track of the order of the polynomials.
