For the polynomial below, write down an expression such that if you applied the distributive property to your expression, it wou
s344n2d4d5 [400]

The expression to apply distributive property is 3x³ (1+2x²+3x³).

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

The given polynomial expression is 3x^3 + 6x^4 + 9x^6.

  • The distributive property is known as law of multiplication.
  • The general form is given by a(b+c) = ab+bc.
  • This means that, the outside term must be multiplied with each term inside the bracket.

<u>To transform into distributive form :</u>

  • Take x³ outside as a common term,
  • The expression becomes x³ (3+6x²+3x³)
  • Again taking 3 outside as a common term,
  • The expression becomes 3x³ (1+2x²+3x³)

The expression 3x³ (1+2x²+3x³) is equivalent to the given expression 3x^3 + 6x^4 + 9x^6 when distributive property is applied.
