Question

They have the same options for both questions. I have to get all the questions correct or I have to re-do everything, so I need to be extra careful not to make a mistake...​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.  3 factors

2.  2 terms

Step-by-step explanation:

1.  

$\text{The entire expression} \ \frac{1}{2} \left( 2a+1\right) \left( a+3\right)$

is the product of 3 factors.

The 3 factors are :

1/2  and  (2a + 1)  and  (a + 3)

2.

On its own, (2a + 1) is a sum with 2 terms.

The two terms are :

2a  and  1

Answer 2

Answer:

1. 3 factors
2. 2 terms

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the expression

$\frac{1}{2}(2a + 1)(a + 3)$

Complete 2 descriptions of the parts of the expression.

1. The entire expression is the product of 3 factors.

1. 1 factor is $\frac{1}{2}$
2. 2 factor is (2a + 1)
3. 3 factor is (a + 3)

2. On its own, (2a + 1) is a sum with 2 terms.

1. 1 term is 2a
2. 2 term is 1
