What to Focus On
- Distributive property: a(b + c) = ab + ac
- Reverse order form: (a + b)c = ac + bc
- It works for two terms and also for three or more terms inside brackets
- If one number increases by 1, the product increases by the other number
- The rule a(b + 1) = ab + a is a direct use of distributivity
- Expressions with increases and decreases can be expanded systematically
- Every term inside a bracket must be distributed across the other bracket
- Like terms can be combined after expansion
- The cube identity is a key pattern in the chapter
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Multiplication can be distributed over any product inside brackets, not just over addition or subtraction.
A negative sign outside a bracket changes only the first term inside the bracket.
When one number in a product is increased by 1, the product increases by 1 too.
Memory Tips
Distributive property of multiplication over addition
a(b + c) = ab + ac
(a + b)c = ac + bc
Increase in product when one number is increased by 1
