Explain how the Distributive Property is used to factor polynomials.
Answer to Problem 19HP
Distribution property is used to multiply the sub-polynomial expression to form a complete polynomial expression.
Explanation of Solution
Distribution property states that the multiplication of two or more polynomial gives the same result as the addition of the multiplication of each of the terms of the polynomials.
For example:
Similarly, another example:
Hence, distribution property is used to multiply the sub-polynomial expression to form a complete polynomial expression.
