Rewrite the following expression as an addition and as a multiplication:
To solve this problem, let's start by identifying the parts of the binomial:
Let's apply the formula:
Step 1: Expand using the formula:
Step 2: Calculate each part:
stays as
Step 3: Combine these results to get the addition form:
The expression in multiplication form, as provided, is just repeating the factors:
Therefore, the expression rewritten as addition is and as multiplication .
Declares the given expression as a sum
\( (7b-3x)^2 \)
When you square a binomial, you get three terms from the formula (a-b)² = a² - 2ab + b². The middle term -2ab comes from multiplying the two different terms together twice during expansion.
The middle term always has the opposite sign of what's in the binomial! Since we have (3x-y)², the middle term becomes negative: -6xy.
Addition form shows the expanded result: 9x² - 6xy + y². Multiplication form shows the original factors: (3x-y)(3x-y).
Yes! FOIL gives the same result: First: (3x)(3x) = 9x², Outer: (3x)(-y) = -3xy, Inner: (-y)(3x) = -3xy, Last: (-y)(-y) = y². Combine: 9x² - 6xy + y².
The middle term comes from -2ab where a = 3x and b = y. So -2(3x)(y) = -6xy. The factor of 2 appears because (3x)(-y) happens twice during expansion.
