Question

Complete the statement to describe the expression (a+b+c)(d+e+f)

The expression consists of _ factors, and each factor contains _ terms.
Fill in the blanks.

Answer 1

Please check the explanation.

Explanation:

We know that if we multiply 3 and 4, we get 12.

In other words, 3 × 4 = 12

Thus, 3 and 4 are factors of 12.

now

Given the expression

`(a+b+c)(d+e+f)`

The given expression consists of two factors which are:

• (a+b+c)

• (d+e+f)

We also know that an expression can consist of terms, a term may be a constant or a variable. It can be both as well.

For example, in the expression, 4b + 2, 4b and 2 are terms.

so,

• The factor (a+b+c) consists of 3 terms. These terms are a, b and c.

• Similarly, the factor (d+e+f) consists of 3 terms. These terms are d, e, and f.
