Break down the expression into basic terms:
To break down the expression , we need to recognize common factors or express terms in basic forms.
The term can be rewritten by breaking down the operations: .
The constant remains as it is in its basic term.
Thus, the broken down expression becomes .
Break down the expression into basic terms:
\( 4x^2 + 6x \)
Breaking down means showing all the multiplication and addition operations explicitly. Instead of using shortcuts like exponents, we write out what each part actually represents.
Writing as shows the basic multiplication operation. This helps you understand that an exponent means repeated multiplication of the base.
No, the coefficient 3 is already in its simplest form. We only break down parts that have hidden operations like exponents or can be factored differently.
The constant 6 stays as 6 unless the problem specifically asks you to factor it (like ). In this context, 6 is already a basic term.
Breaking down shows individual operations within each term, while factoring finds common factors between terms. Here we're expanding to show its structure, not looking for shared factors.
