Provide an appropriate response.Without performing the multiplication, determine how many terms the product  will contain.

What will be an ideal response?


The product cannot contain like terms since each variable appears only once. Using a distributive law we see that each of the 3 terms in the first factor produces 3 terms of the product. Thus the product will contain  or 9 terms.
