INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A problem involving a monomial and a binomial will involve one polynomial that only has a single term. The second polynomial will have two terms, which will be separated by either a plus sign or a minus sign. A polynomial problem involving a monomial and a binomial will look something like: (ax) * (bx + cy) Example: (2x)(3x + 4y) Rewrite the problem so that all the terms are separate by distributing the single-term polynomial to both terms in the two-term polynomial. After this step, the new rewritten form will look something like: (ax * bx) + (ax * cy) Example: (2x)(3x + 4y) = (2x)(3x) + (2x)(4y) The constants refer to the numerical digits in the problem. These are multiplied as they usually would be according to the standard times table. In other words, during this part of the problem, you are multiplying a, b, and c together. Example: (2x)(3x + 4y) = (2x)(3x) + (2x)(4y) = 6(x)(x) + 8(x)(y) The variables refer to the letters in the equation. When you multiply these variables, different variables will simply be combined together. When you multiply a variable by a like variable, though, you raise that variable by another power. In other words, you are multiplying the the x and y portions of the equation. Example: (2x)(3x + 4y) = (2x)(3x) + (2x)(4y) = 6(x)(x) + 8(x)(y) = 6x^2 + 8xy This type of polynomial problem is also simple enough to usually avoid the need for combining like terms. The result will look something like: abx^2 + acxy Example: 6x^2 + 8xy

SUMMARY: Examine the problem. Distribute the monomial to both terms in the binomial. Multiply the constants. Multiply the variables. Write your final answer.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Rose water has a concentrated fragrance, so use just a little to add a subtle floral perfume to foods. You can purchase it or make your own. Turn a regular buttercream icing into rose icing by beating in to teaspoons (1.25-2.5 ml) of rose water. Add touch of pink food coloring to make it even rosier. Substitute rose water for vanilla in your favorite baked goods, such as cakes or muffins. The fragrance is more subtle when it's baked. For a change of pace, stir a teaspoon (5 ml) of rose water into lemonade. The floral scent works well with the bright lemon flavor. Serve over ice and float a few petals in each glass. Saturate two cotton balls with rose water that has been chilled. Hold them on your eyes for ten minutes. Pat your skin dry; no need to rinse. Rose water is considered anti-inflammatory and is often used by dermatologists to reduce redness in the skin. It is gentle enough for daily use and for sensitive skin, as long as you're not allergic to roses. When you're done applying makeup, spritz a little rosewater on your face. It will set your makeup to keep it from fading and leave your face moisturized. This gentle setting spray can be used daily and is especially beneficial for adding moisture during cold, dry weather. Combine a handful of ingredients to make a fresh smelling tonic. Make a mixture of rose water, rose essential oil, glycerin, and witch hazel and pour over dried roses. Rose water is clarifying and energizing, so as long as you aren't sensitive to any of the ingredients, use it daily to complete your cleansing routine. Don't forget to follow it up with some moisturizer! Pour cup (120 ml) rose water, 3 drops rose essential oil,1 teaspoon (5 ml) glycerin, and 4 tablespoons (60 ml) witch hazel into a jar and shake well. Pour into a bottle containing a handful of dried rosebuds. Apply your rose water tonic with a cotton ball to soothe and tone skin.
Summary: Cook with it. De-puff eyelids. Use as a makeup setting spray. Care for your skin with a rose water tonic.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your ex will probably find reasons to contact you if they're still interested. Check how often they call, text, or talk to you in person. Similarly, consider if they start the conversation back up after it has ended. This might be a sign they like you. For example, your ex might text you to ask questions they probably know the answer to. They might ask, "Do we have an assignment due tomorrow?" "Do you know if Candy's party is still on Saturday?" or "I hope it's okay that we're both going to mini golf tomorrow." If they start telling happy stories about your relationship, it means they're thinking about good times. This is a sign that they might still like you. Listen when your ex starts talking about old times to see if they're focusing on the good parts of your relationship. They might say, "Remember that time we had a candlelight picnic under the stars. That was such a good night," or "I still remember how much we laughed at the improv theater. We had such good times together." When you're feeling upset, it's natural for a person who cares about you to make sure you're okay. Notice if your ex always seems to be there for you when you need someone. Additionally, consider if they're willing to listen to you talk about your problems. As an example, let's say you post on social media that your relative is in the hospital. Your ex might immediately text, "Are you okay?" Keep in mind that this might not mean they like you in a romantic way. They might check up on you because they still care about you as a friend. Typically, you go to someone you trust when you need advice. Consider how often your ex relies on you for advice about their problems. If your ex consistently comes to you, this means they probably still feel close to you. It might even mean they still like you. For example, they might tell you about problems they're having at work or school. Then, they might ask what you think they should do. Bringing up their mistakes means that they're thinking about what they could have done differently. This may mean they're trying to figure out how to fix your relationship. Listen closely if they start talking about what they did wrong, what they could've done differently, or how they've changed. They might say, "I realize now that I should've listened more," "I really regret talking to that other girl. I'll never make that mistake again," or "Since we broke up, I've really changed. You made me a better person."

SUMMARY:
Track how often your ex reaches out to talk or text. Notice if your ex brings up nostalgic moments in your relationship. See if they check on you when you're going through hard times. Notice if they come to you for advice. Pay attention if they start talking about their past mistakes.
