How do you use the distributive property to rewrite and evaluate #(4+6)11#?

Answer 1

#(4+6)11 = 4*11+6*11 = 44+66 = 110#

The distributive property has two forms:

#a(b+c) = ab+ac" "# "left distributive"

#(a+b)c = ac+bc" "# "right distributive"

When dealing with arithmetic of ordinary numbers, where multiplication is commutative, these can be derived from one another, but in other contexts they both need to be stated.

In our example, we use right distributivity to find:

#(4+6)11 = 4*11+6*11#

Then evaluating:

#4*11+6*11 = 44+66 = 110#

You use the distributive property to rewrite and evaluate ( (4+6) \times 11 ) as follows: [ (4+6) \times 11 = 4 \times 11 + 6 \times 11 ] [ = 44 + 66 ] [ = 110 ]

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
