Title: Simplifying by Multiplying Expressions 2016

Rules and Hints
Objectives 2 x a = 2a 1 1
axa=a 2 (1) Do not use a “x” sign or
2 simply remove it 3 x a = 3a
(2) Multiply “numbers” first
Developing
a 1x a1 x a1 = a3 2a x 2b = 4 ab 3a x 2b = 6__
Multiply simple (3) Remember your negative
Expressions rules -3 x 2 = -6
3xa (4) Multiply “letters” second
3a 1x 4a1 = 12 a2
x 2b1 a1 = 4 a2b2
a x b = ab
2a b
1 1
(5) If it’s the same letter add

Securing
3 the indices (powers)

Multiply with
a4 x a5 = a9 (6) Remember a = a1 so a x a =

negatives and
-a x -bc = abc a 1 x a1 = a 2
(7) Letters go side by side in
indices alphabetical order
2a x 3b x 4c = 24abc
1 ab2 x -2a1 = -2 a2b2 -1 a 1b2 x 2b1 = -2 ab3 (8) ab2 means a1 x b1 x b1 only
the b is squared
Excelling
3 (9) (ab) 2 means a1b1 x a1b1 = a
With indices
2
b 2 so everything inside is
raised by the outside indices
and brackets
(ab)2 = a1 b1 x a1 1b = a2b2 (power)
(10) (a3b2)2 when there is a
bracket multiply the inside
indices by
4 what’s on the outside so here
Outstanding it Is a6b4
Using your (a2b3)3 = a2b3 x a2b3 x a2b3 = a6b9
