+ | The aim of this page is to explore numbers and the patterns they create. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The expressed goal of this exploration is to build heavily on the concepts of multiplying and dividing polynomials and to demonstrate basic mathematic algorithms that can be used to create workable solutions. | ||

+ | The distributive property can be explained using small numbers. | ||
+ | * 3 * 5 = 5(2+1) = (5 * 2) + (5 * 1) = 15 | ||

+ | </ | ||
+ | FOIL is a mnemonic used to describe the process of multiplying two binomials. | ||
+ | * First - The first two terms of the binomial are multiplied together | ||
+ | * Outside - The first term in the first binomial is multiplied by the second term in the second binomial | ||
+ | * Inside - The second term in the first binomial is multiplied by the first term in the second binomial | ||
+ | * Last - The second term in the first binomial is multiplied by the second term in the second binomial | ||
+ | |||
+ | This concept is more plainly derived from real numbers. | ||
+ | *< | ||
+ | |||
+ | The above equation states that 6 repeated 8 times is 48. However, 6 can also be written as 4+2, and the distributive law states that < | ||
+ | *< | ||
+ | |||
+ | Building on this concept, 8 can also be represented in different ways. 8 could be written as 7+1. So really, this example can be written in binomial notation: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * < | ||
+ | |||
+ | This is where the above rule comes into play. To multiply binomials, distribute each value across all other values. | ||
