could someone help me distribute this?

Question

Apply the distributive property (assume all variables are non zero):

 

   ( 1)

sq( –)

    ( s)

 

(ps 1/s is a fraction) please help me understand math or im going to fail

Answer 1

a(b+c0 = ab+ac

you "distribute" the a among terms inside the parentheses

1/s could = s(.5/s^2 + .5/s^2) = .5/s +.5/s = 1/s
