 Distributing:
You Can Do it!
properties...
The process of “distributing” which you have been
learning and practicing is one of the series of
properties that you will eventually learn and master.
(What were the two we talked about yesterday?)
 Properties are facts about mathematical processes.

       They are learned by memorizing rules.
the distributive
              properties
So, what are the rules?


             For real numbers x, y, and z,
                  x ( y + z ) = xy + xz
                           and
                   x ( y - z ) = xy - xz
You already know this


• You have already been using these rules.
  Now, you know why you are supposed to do
  what you have been doing.
Let’s try some out, just for memory’s sake.
3(4 + 7) =
3*4 + 3*7
3(4 + 7) =
3*4 + 3*7 =
 12 + 21 =
    33

         Your answer
Think about the
old way. Does it
     work?
                   3(4 + 7) =
                    3(11) =
                    3*11 =
                      33
                                It works!
3(x + 7) =
3*x + 3*7
3(x + 7) =
3*x + 3*7 =
 3x + 21
        Your answer
Don’t freak out!


     -5(6 - x)
What should you do FIRST???
ADD THE OPPOSITE!

   -5(6 - x) =
  -5(6 + -x) =
-5*6 + -5*-x =
    -30 + 5x
The important thing to remember is to keep up with your
               positive and negative signs.

              AND ADD THE OPPOSITE!
What if I gave you a problem like this?




          x(x + 9)
You should be able to get this far...




             x(x + 9)
            x*x + 9*x
   Note: Why did I put the x after the 9?
  Numbers always come before variables.
Think of it as always sitting in the front seat.
So... now what?


       x*x + 9x
What if I told you the answer was...



         x + 9x
             2
Why?
Let’s see if you can figure out the rule...


              x*x=x2
            x*x*x=x3


         So, when you multiply
     variables together, count how
       many times you multiplied
          and that is your new
                exponent.
One last one on your own...


  x(10 + x)
 x(10 + x) =
x*10 + x*x =
   10x + x 2
