multiplicated

Multiplicated refers to the state or process of being multiplied. In mathematics, multiplication is one of the four basic arithmetic operations, alongside addition, subtraction, and division. It is essentially repeated addition. For example, 3 multiplied by 4 (often written as 3 x 4 or 3 * 4) means adding 3 to itself 4 times, resulting in 12. The numbers being multiplied are called factors, and the result is called the product.

The concept of multiplication extends beyond simple numbers. In algebra, it can involve variables and expressions. For instance, multiplying (x + 2) by (x + 3) involves distributing each term in the first expression to each term in the second. In various fields, the term "multiplicated" can imply an increase in number, quantity, or intensity. For example, a species might be described as having "multiplicated" its population, meaning its numbers have significantly increased. Similarly, ideas or phenomena can be said to be multiplicated, suggesting their spread or proliferation. The specific meaning is always dependent on the context in which the word is used.
