GCSE Maths - Expanding Triple Brackets #37

The video tutorial explains how to expand triple brackets by multiplying two brackets first and then multiplying the result by the third bracket. It emphasizes the importance of clarity and accuracy in calculations to avoid mistakes. The tutorial provides two examples, demonstrating that the order of multiplication does not affect the final result. The process involves multiplying terms, drawing arrows for clarity, and combining like terms to simplify the expression.

What is the first step in expanding triple brackets?

• Ignore one bracket and multiply the other two

• Multiply all three brackets together at once

• Divide the terms in the brackets

• Add all terms from the three brackets

When multiplying the first two brackets, what is the result of multiplying 2x by x?

• x^2

• 4x

• 2x^2

• 2x

In the detailed example, what is the simplified form of 2x squared plus 4x plus 3x plus 6?

• 2x^2 + 8x + 6

• 2x^2 + 5x + 6

• 2x^2 + 6x + 6

• 2x^2 + 7x + 6

What is the final result of the alternative approach example?

• 2x^3 + 15x^2 + 34x + 24

• 2x^3 + x^2 - 13x + 6

• 2x^3 + 10x^2 + 20x + 12

• 2x^3 + 5x^2 + 10x + 6

Does the order of multiplying the brackets affect the final result?

• It depends on the terms in the brackets

• No, it does not affect the result

• Only if the brackets are identical

• Yes, it changes the result
