Math Lesson 8 - 7

The document provides examples of using the distributive property to multiply binomial expressions. Specifically, it shows: 1) Multiplying (r - 6)(r + 4) using both the vertical and horizontal distribution methods. 2) Using FOIL (First, Outer, Inner, Last) to multiply binomial expressions like (x - 9)(x - 2) and (3a - 5)(5a - 2). 3) Writing the surface area formula for a box by distributing terms in the area expressions for the base and sides. 4) Distributing terms in two more binomial expressions: (2y - 3)(y^2 + 5y - 1) and (2p

Example 1
Method 1

The Distributive Property


Vertical Multiply by r. r6 () r + 4 4r 24 r 2 - 6r r(r 6) = r 2 - 6r Add like terms. r6 () r + 4 4r 24 r 2 - 6r r2- 2r 24

Find (r 6)(r + 4).

Multiply by 4. r6 () r + 4 4r 24

4(r 6) = 4r 24

Method 2 Horizontal (r 6)(r + 4) = r(r + 4) + -6(r + 4) = r(r) + r(4) + -6(r) + -6(4) = r 2 + 4r 6r 24 = r 2 - 2r 24

Distributive Property Distributive Property Multiply. Combine like terms.

Example 2

FOIL Method

Find each product. a. (x 9)(x 2) F O I L (x 9)(x 2) = (x)(x) + (x)(-2) + (-9)(x) + (-9)(-2) = x 2 2x 9x + 18 = x 2 11x + 18 b. (3a 5)(5a 2) F O I L (3a 5)(5a 2) = (3a)(5a) + (3a)(-2) + (-5)(5a) + (-5)(-2) = 15a 2 6a 25a + 10 = 15a 2 31a + 10 FOIL method Multiply. Combine like terms. FOIL method Multiply. Combine like terms.

Example 3 FOIL Method GEOMETRY The surface area of a box is found by finding
the area of each of the six sides. Write an expression for the surface area of the box. Identify the area of each side. Area of bottom = area of top = (x + 3)(x + 3) Area each side = (x + 3)(2x 5) Now write the formula.
Surface Area equals two times area of base plus four times area of a side.

SA

(x 3)(x + 2)

(x + 3)(2x 5)
Original formula FOIL method Multiply Combine like terms. Distributive Property Combine like terms.

SA = 2(x + 3)(x + 3) + 4(x + 3)(2x 5) = 2[(x)(x) + (x)(3) + (3)(x) + (3)(3)] + 4[(x)(2x) + (x)(-5) + (3)(2x) + (3)(-5)] = 2[x2 + 3x + 3x + 9] + 4[2x2 5x + 6x 15] = 2[x2+ 6x + 9] + 4[2x2+ x 15] = 2x2+ 12x + 18 + 8x2+ 4x 60 = 10x2 + 16x 42 The surface area of the box is 10x 2 + 16x 42 square units.

Example 4 The Distributive Property


Find each product. a. (2y 3)(y2 + 5y 1) (2y 3)(y2 + 5y 1) = 2y(y2+ 5y 1) 3(y2 + 5y 1) = 2y3 + 10y2 2y 3y2 15y + 3 = 2y3 + 7y2 17y + 3 b. (2p2 + p 2)(p2 + 4p 3) (2p2 + p 2)(p2 + 4p 3) = 2p2 (p2 + 4p 3) + p(p2 + 4p 3) 2(p2 + 4p 3) = 2p4 + 8p3 6p2 + p3 + 4p2 3p 2p2 8p + 6 = 2p4 + 9p3 4p2 11p + 6 Distributive Property Distributive Property Combine like terms.
