A picture of Madison that is 10cm by 15cm is going to have a matting of uniform width around it inside of it’s frame. Determine a simplified expression for the area of the glass needed to cover the picture and matting. 2x+10 2x+15
Area = (2x+10)(2x+15) Area = length x width To simplify algebraic expressions we use the distributive property. This means that we multiply everything inside of the second brackets by everything that is inside the first brackets!
Area = (2x+10)(2x+15) • Strategy #1 – Make a chart Area = 4x2 +50x +150 +20x 4x2 +30x +150
-x2 x -x • Strategy #2 – Algebra Tiles +1 -1 Area = (2x+3) (2x+2) x x +1 +1 +1 x x2 x2 x x x x x2 x2 x x x x x +1 +1 +1 +1 x x +1 +1 +1 +1
F O I L • Strategy #3 – “FOIL” NSIDE UTSIDE AST IRST Area = (2x+10)(2x+15) 4x2 +30x +20x +150 Area = Area = 4x2+50x+150
Example: Expand and simplify a) b) c)
