Study Notes
Expanding Algebraic Expressions
- Expanding involves multiplying a term outside the parentheses with each term inside.
- A common form seen in expansions is multiplying a constant by a binomial or a polynomial.
Example Expansions
-
Expand 2(3+n):
- Multiply 2 by 3 and by n, resulting in 6 + 2n.
-
Expand -3(3-r):
- Multiply -3 by 3 and by -r, leading to -9 + 3r (or rewritten as -9 + r in simpler terms).
-
Expand 3y(9+y):
- Multiply 3y by 9 and by y, yielding 27y + 3y².
Negative and Multiple Terms
-
Expand 2(-4g-3):
- Distribute 2 to each term, resulting in -8g - 6.
-
Expand 6k(1-2h):
- Distributing gives 6k - 12kh.
Importance of Parentheses
- Parentheses dictate the order of operations during expansion, ensuring correct distribution of coefficients across all terms.
- Each expansion is vital for simplifying and solving algebraic equations effectively.
