Multiplying Using the FOIL Method
Multiply using the FOIL method.
Step 1 — First: Multiply the first terms: .
Step 2 — Outer: Multiply the outermost terms: .
Step 3 — Inner: Multiply the innermost terms: .
Step 4 — Last: Multiply the last terms: .
Writing all four products in order gives:
Step 5 — Combine like terms: The Outer and Inner products and are like terms: .
The simplified result is .
