Example Question #1 : How To Use The Grid Method For Foil
Multiply:
To multiply two binomials, both terms in the first binomial need to be multiplied with both terms in the second binomial. A good way to make sure that all of the pairs are multiplied is to set up the box/grid:
In each empty box, multiply the intersecting terms:
Now, combine like terms. 3x and 8x are both terms with x, so we can add them to be 11x.
Final answer [in descending order of powers of x:
Example Question #2 : How To Use The Grid Method For Foil
Multiply:
To multiply two binomials, both terms in the first binomial need to be multiplied with both terms in the second binomial. A good way to make sure that all of the pairs are multiplied is to set up the box/grid:
In each empty box, multiply the intersecting terms:
Now, combine like terms. -6x and 4x are both terms with x, so we can add them to be -2x.
