Examples with solutions for Extended Distributive Property: Is the equality correct?

Exercise #1

Is the equation correct?

a2+9a20=(a+4)(a5) a^2+9a-20=(a+4)(a-5)

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

We solve the right side of the equation using the extended distributive property:(a+b)×(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd (a+b)\times(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd

(a+4)(a5)=a25a+4a20 (a+4)(a-5)=a^2-5a+4a-20

a2a20 a^2-a-20

That is, answer D is the correct one.

Answer

No, a -a instead of +9a +9a

Exercise #2

Is equality correct?

(b3)(b+7)=b2+4b21 (b-3)(b+7)=b^2+4b-21

Video Solution

Answer

Si

Exercise #3

Is equality correct?

(14+a)(a2)=2a2+12a28 (14+a)(a-2)=-2a^2+12a-28

Video Solution

Answer

No, due to the coefficient of a2 a^2

Exercise #4

Are the expressions on both sides equivalent?

5x2+7x+7=?(2x+3)(3x+4) 5x^2+7x+7\stackrel{?}{=}(2x+3)(3x+4)

Video Solution

Answer

No, because all the coefficients of the corresponding terms in the expressions on both sides of the equation are different.

Exercise #5

Is equality correct?

(a+b)(c+d)=ab+cd+ac+bd (a+b)(c+d)=ab+cd+ac+bd

Video Solution

Answer

No, it must be ac+ad+bc+bd ac+ad+bc+bd

Exercise #6

Is equality correct?

(x+8)(2x3)=2x2+13x24 (x+8)(2x-3)=2x^2+13x-24

Video Solution

Answer

Si

Exercise #7

Is equality correct?

(y+9)(2y2)=2y220y+18 (y+9)(2y-2)=2y^2-20y+18

Video Solution

Answer

No, it must be (y9) (y-9) instead of (y+9) (y+9)

Exercise #8

Is equality correct?

(4x)(7+x)=2811xx2 (-4-x)(7+x)=-28-11x-x^2

Video Solution

Answer

Si

Exercise #9

Is equality correct?

(x+8)(x4)=(x8)(x+4) (x+8)(x-4)=(x-8)(x+4)

Video Solution

Answer

No, the coefficients ofx x In contrasting expressions

Exercise #10

Is equality correct?

(a+4)(x+b+c)=ax+ab+ac+4 (a+4)(x+b+c)=ax+ab+ac+4

Video Solution

Answer

No, it would be true if the expression were (x+b+c)a+4 (x+b+c)a+4

Exercise #11

Is equality correct?

(3y+x)(4+2x)=2x2+6xy+4x+12y (3y+x)(4+2x)=2x^2+6xy+4x+12y

Video Solution

Answer

Si

Exercise #12

Is equality correct?

(2a+3b)(4c+5a)=?8ac+10a212bc15ab (-2a+3b)(4c+5a)\stackrel{?}{=}8ac+10a^2-12bc-15ab

Video Solution

Answer

No, the expression is exactly the same as(8ac+10a212bc15ab) -(8ac+10a^2-12bc-15ab)

Exercise #13

Is equality correct?

(4x+3)(8x+5)=32x2+44x+15 (4x+3)(8x+5)=32x^2+44x+15

Video Solution

Answer

Si

Exercise #14

Is equality correct?

(2x3)(4+y)=8x+2xy3y+12 (2x-3)(-4+y)=-8x+2xy-3y+12
