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.

Multiplying two things makes them one term

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

  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).

    a*b and ab are both the product of a and b,
    
    Nope. Only ab is the product of a and b. axb is Multiplication of 2 terms
    
    As explained by the textbook you chose
    
    If you had read more than 2 sentences of it, you would discover that you cannot use axb to show the product, only ab 🙄
    
    a*b2 is ab2
    
    No it isn’t 😂 1/axb²=b²/a. 1/ab²=1/ab². Welcome to why we teach students about Terms 🙄
    
    No textbook you’re grasping for contains your made-up exception
    
    Law is the word you’re looking for, and I posted dozens of them here in this post which you keep ignoring Mr. Ostrich
    
    They all show what I’m rubbing your nose in. You’re just full of shit.
    
    Nope, they all show you are full of shit Mr. Ostrich. See previous link

    “a X b is written ab and means a times b.”

    says person who can’t back up anything they say about Terms with textbook references
    
    “a X b is written ab and means a times b.”
    
    Rub rub rub.
