Distributive Property (3.7)
Distributive Property (3.7)
Warm Up:
Consider the terms 441𝑥 𝑦 and 125𝑥 𝑧
Key point: Every term in one bracket must multiply every term in the other bracket
Example 1: Expand.
(𝑥 + 4) (𝑥 − 3) (2𝑥 − 7)
Practice/HW
(𝑥 + 4) (𝑥 − 3) (2𝑥 − 7)
Yesterday we used the distributive property to find the product of two binomials.
Does this property work for larger (or smaller) products?
