Example Question #11 : How To Use Foil In The Distributive Property
Expand :
To expand , you must use the FOIL method to multiply the two expressions distributively. Utilizing the FOIL method gives you or .
Example Question #12 : How To Use Foil In The Distributive Property
Use FOIL to simplify the expression .
FOIL stands for "First, Outside, Inside, Last" and represents a quick way to multiply binomials.
We start with the "first" terms of the expression and multiply them together, yielding .
Multiplying the "outside" terms gives us
and the inside gives us .
Finally, multiplying the "last" terms yields , or .
Simple addition of these terms gives us the expression , and subtracting 2 gives us our final answer.
Example Question #13 : Distributive Property
Expand:
To expand , you can use the FOIL method to multiply each term individually. This will give you , or .
Example Question #13 : How To Use Foil In The Distributive Property
Use the FOIL method to evaluate .
FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) refers to a method used to multiply binomials. As the name indicates, our first step is to multiply the first terms of each binomial together. This gives us , or . Next, we multiply the "outside" terms together, yielding or , and do the same for the "inside" terms, which yield . Finally, the product of the last terms in each binomial is , which equals . Our next step is adding these values together to get . So, our final answer is .
