No "*" and use ] instead of the } (which, I assume, was a typo)Gringo123 said:e[*SUP}2[*/SUP]
No "*".Gringo123 said:[*tex]e^2[*/tex]
Please post the correct problem. You have so many corrections and changes, that I can't tell what you're trying to simplify.Gringo123 said:Where did I go wrong with this?
-2e(e + 3) + 4 (e + 2)
My answer is - 2e - 6e + 8
According to my book it should be - e - 3e + 6
The purpose of expanding brackets is to simplify algebraic expressions by multiplying the terms inside the brackets by the term outside the brackets. This process helps to remove parentheses and make the expression easier to evaluate.
The steps to expand brackets are:1. Distribute the term outside the brackets to each term inside the brackets.2. Simplify any like terms.3. Remove the brackets.
If you have made an error while expanding brackets, you can use the distributive property to check your work. Simply multiply the term outside the brackets by each term inside the brackets and see if it matches the original expression. If not, you can identify where you made a mistake.
Yes, the distributive property can be used to expand brackets with any number of terms. Simply distribute the term outside the brackets to each term inside, and then simplify any like terms.
Expanding brackets correctly is important because it allows for simplification of algebraic expressions, making them easier to evaluate and solve. Inaccurate expansion can lead to incorrect solutions and a lack of understanding of the underlying concepts.
