Question

The distribution of 4 in the following expression (5+s)4

Answer 1

( 5 + s ) 4 = 20 + 4 s

Explanation:

Distribution property

Let a, b and c are numbers then distribution property is defined by

a( b + c) = a b + a c

(a+ b) c = a c + b c

Given that

( 5 + s ) 4 = 5× 4 + s× 4

= 20 + 4 s

Final answer:-

( 5 + s ) 4 = 20 + 4 s
