@®) Expanding brackets
To find the product of two expressions you multiply each term in one expression by each term in
the other expression,
Multiplying each of the 2 terms in the first expression by each of the

If a fraction has a surd in the denominator, it is sometimes useful to rearrange it so that the
denominator is a rational number. This is called rationalising the denominator.
