Expanding brackets 2
Use the interactive display to see how the expression (ax+b)(cx+d) is multiplied out. You can change the quadratic function and then see the process, step by step.

Summary Multiplying out brackets is such an important part of A Level mathematics. You must practise until you can do it quickly, accurately and reliably. make sure you always leave your answer in the form ax2+bx+c remember: (a+b)2 = a2+2ab+b2 - not a2+b2 this topic is part of the AS/A2 background knowledge This page uses HotEqn.
