Nope. Only ab is the product of a and b. axb is Multiplication of 2 terms
If you had read more than 2 sentences of it, you would discover that you cannot use axb to show the product, only ab 🙄
No it isn't 😂 1/axb²=b²/a. 1/ab²=1/ab². Welcome to why we teach students about Terms 🙄
Law is the word you're looking for, and I posted dozens of them here in this post which you keep ignoring Mr. Ostrich
Nope, they all show you are full of shit Mr. Ostrich. See previous link
"a X b is written ab and means a times b."
Rub rub rub.
Notice that it doesn't say equals, speaking of Illiterate fraud, as per your other comment 🙄
They're more than equal - ab means a*b. It's an identity, which you'd understand, if you weren't lying about being a teacher.
They're not equal at all 🙄
If a=2, b=3...
1/ab=1/(2x3)=1/6
1/axb=1/2x3=3/2=1.5
Nope! axb==ab is an identity, which is NOT how it's written, "illiterate fraud" as per your other comment
says person who is lying about what the textbook says 🙄
Convention saying 1/a(b+c)^2^ is 1/(a(b+c)^2^) instead of (1/a)(b+c)^2^ doesn't change how only (b+c) is squared.
There's no such convention, given it would violate The Distributive Law 🙄
You can't keep your own horseshit straight.
No idea what you're talking about, again, I've been saying the same thing the whole time
You sneered about 1/ab five minutes ago.
Troll.
Yet again, I have no idea what you're talking about
says person who can't back up anything they say about Terms with textbook references 🙄
"a X b is written ab and means a times b."
Rub rub rub.
