Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. We want to find expressions equivalent to . . The expressions are equivalent if they simplify to the same value for any value of .
STEP 2
The original expression can be simplified by distributing the multiplication across the terms inside the parenthesis.
STEP 3
implify the expression further by adding the constants.
STEP 4
Now, we will simplify each of the given expressions in the same way and compare them to the original expression .
First, consider the expression .
STEP 5
istribute the multiplication across the terms inside the parenthesis.
STEP 6
implify the expression by adding the constants.
STEP 7
The expression simplifies to , which is the same as the original expression. So, is equivalent to the original expression.
STEP 8
Now, consider the expression .
STEP 9
implify the expression inside the parenthesis first.
STEP 10
istribute the multiplication across the terms inside the parenthesis.
STEP 11
implify the expression by adding the constants.
STEP 12
The expression simplifies to , which is the same as the original expression. So, is equivalent to the original expression.
STEP 13
Now, consider the expression .
STEP 14
istribute the multiplication across the terms inside the parenthesis.
STEP 15
implify the expression by adding the constants.
STEP 16
The expression simplifies to , which is not the same as the original expression . So, is not equivalent to the original expression.
STEP 17
Finally, consider the expression .
STEP 18
istribute the multiplication across the terms inside the parenthesis.
STEP 19
implify the expression by adding the constants.
STEP 20
The expression simplifies to , which is the same as the original expression. So, is equivalent to the original expression.
The expressions equivalent to are , , and .
