Given:
The algebraic expression ( x + 3 y ) ( x 2 − 3 x y + 9 y 2 ) , the objective is to determine the expression after performing the indicated operations.
Term: A term is a number, variable or the product of a number and variable.
Coefficient: A coefficient is the numeric factor of the given term.
Constant term: A constant term is a term that contains only a number.
Degree of the term: The degree of the term is the sum of the exponents on the variables contained in the term.
Like terms: Like terms are those that have the exact same variables raised to the exact same exponents. When applying algebraic addition or subtraction to a given expression, only like terms can be combined and their coefficients added or subtracted respectively.
Product rule for exponents:
When multiplying terms of an expression, the exponents of like bases are added as follows,
Dividing like bases with exponents follows the quotient rule as follows
Multiplication of polynomials:
When multiplying polynomials, use the distribution property to distribute every term of a polynomial to every term of the other polynomials
