Distribution and Factorization
This section delves into simple and double distribution properties, providing essential formulas and practical applications in algebraic operations.
Definition: Simple distributivity is expressed as K = Ka + Kb, where K is distributed to each term inside the parentheses.
Example: C = 5 simplifies to C = 20-5x through simple distribution.
Highlight: Double distributivity follows the pattern a + b$$c + d = ac + ad + bc + bd.
Vocabulary: "Factorisation" refers to the reverse process of distribution, where common factors are extracted.
The page illustrates these concepts through detailed examples:
- Simple distribution: C = 5 → C = 20-5x
- Double distribution: E = x+2$$3x-1 → E = 3x² + 5x - 2
A final note introduces factorization as the inverse operation: Ka + Kb = K
