  The result of a multiplication operation is called a product.

  Show me one textbook where a(b+c)^2^ gets an a^2^ term. Here’s four in a row that say you’re full of shit.

    Now you’re getting it - axb=ab. axb is Multiplication of 2 Terms, ab is the single Product. It’s the reason that 8/2(1+3) and 8/2x(1+3) give different answers 🙄

    Show me one textbook where a(b+c)2 gets an a2 term

    I already gave you many that tell you a(b+c)=(ab+ac) Mr. Ostrich - which part of a(b+c)=(ab+ac) are you having trouble understanding?

      Multiplying two things makes them one term.

      “When a product involves a variable, it is customary to omit the symbol X of multiplication. Thus, 3 X n is written 3n and means three times n, and a X b is written ab and means a times b.” Modern Algebra: Structure And Method, page 36. Immediately before the definition you’re now lying about.

      a(b+c) is the same as a*(b+c), and neither a(b+c)^2^ nor a*(b+c)^2^ produce an a^2^ term. You made it up. You’re just full of shit.

        You so nearly had it, look “two things”! Yes axb is 2 Terms being Multiplied to make them one 😂

        Immediately before the definition you’re now lying about

        Nope! Says exactly what I already said, and I have no idea why you think it says otherwise. Now read the next page, which tells you ab is one Term and doesn’t say that axb is 1 Term. 🙄 You’re proven wrong by the very textbook you’re quoting from! 😂

        Fuck your non-sequitur

        Says person trying to disprove a(b+c)=(ab+ac) by dragging a(bc)²=ab²c² to try and make a false equivalence argument 😂

        a(b+c)2 is a*(b+c)2

        No it isn’t! 😂 The first is one term, the second is two terms

        for example - these four math textbooks.

        Says Mr. Ostrich, still ignoring the dozens of textbooks I posted saying a(b+c)=(ab+ac)

        No textbook will ever say it produces an a2 term

        No, it produces an ab term and an ac term, a(b+c)=(ab+ac) 🙄

        You made it up. You’re just full of shit

        Says Mr. Ostrich, now completely full of shit, still ignoring the dozens of textbooks I posted, including ones written before I was even born
