1. By how much does the product decrease, if the first number 22 is increased by \(1\)?
Answer:
2. By how much does the product increase, if the second number −29 is increased by \(1\)?
Answer:
3. How about when both numbers are increased by \(1\)?
The distributive property used is \((a+1)(b+1)\) \(=\) .
So, the increment is given by
Answer: The resultant product will by .
