Algebraic expressions:
A combination of constants and variables connected by any or all of the four fundamental operations +, -,×,÷ is called an algebraic expression
Multiplication of algebraic expression:
The product of two factors with like signs is positive and the product of two factors with unlike signs is negative.
Multiplication of a binomial and the binomial:
Let ( a+b)& (c+d) are two Binomials. By using distributive law of multiplatinum over addition twice, we may find their product
( a+b)× (c+d)
= a(c+d) + b( c+d)
=(a × c+a × d)+(b × c+b × d)
= ac+ad+bc+bd
This method is known as the horizontal method.
=========================================================
Solution:
i) (5-2x)(3+x)
5(3+x)-2x(3+x)
15 + 5x - 6x - 2x²
= 15 - x - 2x²
ii)(x+7y)(7x-y)
x(7x-y)+7y(7x-y)
7x² - xy + 49xy - 7y²
= 7x²- 7y²+ 48xy
iii) (a²+b)(a+b²)
a²(a+b²)+ b(a+b²)
a² x a + a² x b² + a x b +b× b²
= a³ + a²b²+ab+b³
iv) (p²-q²)(2p+q)
p²(2p+q)- q²(2p+q)
2p³+ p²q - 2pq² - q³
= 2p³- q³ + p²q - 2pq²
