Combining Like Terms and Distributing Negative Coefficients

What does the coefficient outside the parentheses indicate in the context of distribution?

• Number of times to add the expression inside the parentheses

• Number of times to subtract the expression inside the parentheses

• The division factor for each term inside the parentheses

• The exponent to which each term inside the parentheses is raised

How do you interpret a negative sign in front of a parenthesis in terms of distribution?

• Distribute a negative one to each term inside

• Ignore the negative sign and distribute positively

In the context of algebraic distribution, what does the term 'invisible one' refer to?

• A term that does not affect the outcome of the expression

• An implied coefficient of 1 in front of a parenthesis

• A term that is not written but assumed to be zero

• A coefficient that disappears during simplification
