Google implied multiplication.
Do you write 2x or do you write 2 • x?
That's implied multiplication, if x= (a+b) then 2x becomes 2(a+b). Implied multiplication
There's no such thing. It's a Term/Product. Google is a prime source of Maths disinformation (yes, they have been told it's wrong, repeatedly, so it's disinformation).
2a=(2xa) by definition, and 5(8-5)=(5x8-5x5).
No, that's a Term/Product.
Terms/Products
I mean, I don't like to argue about this, since I am not a native English speaker, but there is an implied multiplication there.
or Factoristion, ab+ac=a(b+c) <== a Product of a and (b+c)
And yet here you are arguing with someone who is and is a Maths teacher
Nope! It's a Term/Product. There's no such thing as "implied multiplication" - you won't find it in any Maths textbook
That time I didn't use the term implied multiplication I merely said that the multiplication is implied
And there's no such thing as either 🙄
