\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "number 1 is the original exp4ression.
\n" ); document.write( "numbers 2 through 4 take each term in the multiplicand and multiply it by each term in the multiplier.
\n" ); document.write( "the multiplier is 1/2 * a^3.
\n" ); document.write( "the multiplicand is (4a - 6b + 8ab^4).
\n" ); document.write( "each term in the multipicad is .....
\n" ); document.write( "4a
\n" ); document.write( "-6b
\n" ); document.write( "8ab^4
\n" ); document.write( "number 5 adds all the terms that were multiplied by the multiplier to form the new expression.
\n" ); document.write( "the new expression looks like your second selection.\r
