Comment on I dunno
SmartmanApps@programming.dev 4 days agoThe result of a multiplication operation is called a product
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 😂
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! 😂
Says person trying to disprove a(b+c)=(ab+ac) by dragging a(bc)²=ab²c² to try and make a false equivalence argument 😂
No it isn’t! 😂 The first is one term, the second is two terms
Says Mr. Ostrich, still ignoring the dozens of textbooks I posted saying a(b+c)=(ab+ac)
No, it produces an ab term and an ac term, a(b+c)=(ab+ac) 🙄
Says Mr. Ostrich, now completely full of shit, still ignoring the dozens of textbooks I posted, including ones written before I was even born

Yes… to make them one.
a*b and ab are both the product of a and b, and a product is one term. As explained by the textbook you chose.
a*b^2^ is ab^2^, even if b=(x+y).

Nope. Only ab is the product of a and b. axb is Multiplication of 2 terms
If you had read more than 2 sentences of it, you would discover that you cannot use axb to show the product, only ab 🙄
No it isn’t 😂 1/axb²=b²/a. 1/ab²=1/ab². Welcome to why we teach students about Terms 🙄
Law is the word you’re looking for, and I posted dozens of them here in this post which you keep ignoring Mr. Ostrich
Nope, they all show you are full of shit Mr. Ostrich. See previous link
