Example Question #155 : How To Use Foil In The Distributive Property
Distribute the product using the FOIL method.
The FOIL method stands for FIRST, OUTER, INNER, LAST. It refers to the terms in the pair of parenthesis.
We multiply together the
FIRST TERMS:
OUTER TERMS:
INNER TERMS:
LAST TERMS:
Adding them up and combining like terms yields
Example Question #156 : How To Use Foil In The Distributive Property
Simplify the binomials:
The FOIL method to multiply binomials is:
Multiply the given problem using this format.
Simplify the right side.
Combine like-terms.
The answer is:
Example Question #159 : Distributive Property
Simplify the following expression:
To simply this expression you must distribute correctly.
Using the FOIL method is the easiest wait to do this, so:
FIRST:
OUTTER:
INNER:
LAST:
Once you combine like-terms you end up with:
Example Question #153 : How To Use Foil In The Distributive Property
Simplify the following expression:
To do this you must distribute using the FOIL method.
Simplify:
Example Question #161 : How To Use Foil In The Distributive Property
Multiply: 
Here we have to use the distributive property and FOIL when we are multiplying the two terms. First we multipy the terms in the binomial with the trinomial. Then we add or subtract the coefficients of the terms with same combination of variables x and y.
Example Question #161 : How To Use Foil In The Distributive Property
Multiply:
Use the FOIL method to multiply the terms.
Simplify the terms on the right side of the equation.
Combine like-terms.
The answer is:
Example Question #163 : How To Use Foil In The Distributive Property
Distribute using FOIL:
As we know, FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last, which indicates the order in which we should multiply each of these terms.
First:
Outside:
Inside:
Last:
We then combine like terms, which in this case are 
Example Question #161 : How To Use Foil In The Distributive Property
Expand:
To expand this set of binomials we need to FOIL the terms. FOIL is the multiplication steps that need to be applied to a set of binomials.
First:
Outer:
Inner:
Last:
Example Question #161 : How To Use Foil In The Distributive Property
Multiply
Use the FOIL method to multiply the polynomials:
(3x+4)(x-2)
F - Multiply the first terms of each binomial
O- Multiply the outside terms of each binomial
I- Multiply the inside terms of each binomial
L- Multiply the last terms of each binomial
Add all of the answers and combine like terms
Example Question #166 : How To Use Foil In The Distributive Property
Simplify the following expression.
None of the other answers.
Use FOIL to distribute each term.
F:
O:
I:
L:
If possible, combine like terms (none in this case).
