Example Question #16 : How To Use Foil In The Distributive Property
Factor the polynomial.
We need to factor to find terms that multiply to 
Now we can write our factored expression.
We can check our answer using FOIL.
Example Question #17 : How To Use Foil In The Distributive Property
Expand:
To multiply 
Example Question #4834 : Algebra 1
Multiply the following binomials.
Use the FOIL method.
First:
Inside:
Ouside:
Last:
Sum the terms. No terms can be combined in this example.
Example Question #21 : How To Use Foil In The Distributive Property
Distribute
To distribute two factors, you will use FOIL method: first, outer, inner, last.
You start by multiplying the first terms together:
Then, you multiply the outer terms of each factor:
Then, you multiply the inner terms of each factor:
Lastly, you multiply the last terms of each factor:
Combine like terms: 
And you are left with 
Example Question #22 : How To Use Foil In The Distributive Property
:
Example Question #4 : Foil
Simplify the following expression using the FOIL method:
Using the FOIL method is simple. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last. This is to help us make sure we multiply every term correctly looking at the terms inside of each parentheses. We follow FOIL to find the multiplied terms, then combine and simplify.
First, stands for multiply each first term of the seperate polynomials. In this case, 
Inner means we multiply the two inner terms of the expression. Here it's 
Outer means multiplying the two outer terms of the expression. For this expression we have 
Last stands for multiplying the last terms of the polynomials. So here it's 
Finally we combine the like terms together to get
Example Question #23 : Distributive Property
Simplify the equation.
The distributive property allows us to transfer a term from outside the parenthesis to each term within the parenthesis.
From our original equation, 
Simplify by multiplication.
Example Question #4 : Foil
FOIL the following expression.
This problem involves multiplying two binomials. To solve, we will need to use the FOIL method.
Comparing this with our original equation, 
Using these values, we can substitute for the FOIL equation.
Notice that the two center terms use the same variables; this allows us to combine like terms.
Example Question #3 : Foil
FOIL the expression.
To solve, it may be easier to convert the radicals to exponents.
Remember, the method used in multiplying two binomials is given by the equation:
Comparing this with our expression, we can identify the following variables:
We can substitute these values into the FOIL expression. Multiply to simplify.
Simplify by combining like terms. The center terms are equal and opposite, allowing them to cancel to zero.
A term to a given power can be combined with another term with the same base using the identity
