1. There are three techniques for multiplying polynomials: the distributive property, FOIL, and the box method. 2. The distributive property involves distributing terms being multiplied over terms in parentheses. FOIL stands for First, Outer, Inner, Last and involves multiplying the first, outer, inner, and last terms of factors being multiplied. 3. The document provides examples of applying these techniques, such as using FOIL to expand (x+3)(x-3) as x2 - 3x + 3x - 9 = x2 - 9.
