Question

Use the distributive property to rewrite the expression
(a+b)4

Answer 1

I'm assuming you mean \[(a+b)\times 4\]
The law of distribution, which applies to multiplication, states that \[(a+b)\times c = (a \times c) + (b \times c)\]In your case c = 4.

Answer 2

so if i well to rewrite it it would be (a+b)x4=(ax4)+(bx4)

Answer 3

no i meant to write (a+8)4

Answer 4

But do you mean:
\[(a+8)\times 4\] or \[(a+8)^4\]Multiplication or exponentiation?

Answer 5

(a+b)4

Answer 6

If you mean multiplication then what you wrote is correct.
