Question Simplify the expression a−a2 Evaluate (1×a)(1−a)Remove the parentheses 1×a(1−a)Multiply the terms a(1−a)Apply the distributive property a×1−a×aAny expression multiplied by 1 remains the same a−a×aSolution a−a2 Show Solution Find the roots a1=0,a2=1 Evaluate (1×a)(1−a)To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0 (1×a)(1−a)=0Any expression multiplied by 1 remains the same a(1−a)=0Separate the equation into 2 possible cases a=01−a=0Solve the equation More Steps Evaluate 1−a=0Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign −a=0−1Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression −a=−1Change the signs on both sides of the equation a=1 a=0a=1Solution a1=0,a2=1 Show Solution
