What is Expression Expansion?
Expression expansion in algebra involves rewriting an algebraic expression in a more expanded form by applying the distributive property and combining like terms. This is particularly useful when dealing with expressions containing parentheses.
For example, expanding 2(x + 3) means distributing the 2 to both terms inside the parentheses, resulting in 2x + 6. Similarly, expanding (x + 1)(x - 2) involves multiplying each term in the first parenthesis by each term in the second parenthesis, leading to x2 - 2x + x - 2, which simplifies to x2 - x - 2.
This tool helps you quickly expand and simplify such expressions, making complex algebraic manipulations easier and faster.
