1. 4a2 + 3z 3. 2x2 – 5x 5. -3n3 – 6n2

7. 15x3 – 3x2 + 12x 9. 8b3 + 36b2 – 4b

11.4m4 + 6m3 – 10m2 13. 3w2 + 7w 15. -2p2 + 3p

17.3x3 + 8x 19. -22b2 + 2b + 8 21. a = -7

25. m = -2

What does FOIL stand for?

FOIL is an acronym that stands for

F – first

O- outer

I – inner

L – last

So what does that help me do?

FIRST

(x + 3)(x – 4)

The terms in red are first terms.

Multiply them. (x)(x) x2

OUTER

(x + 3)(x – 4)

The terms in red are the outer terms.

Multiply them. (x)(-4) -4x

INNER

(x + 3)(x – 4)

The terms in red are the inner terms.

Multiply them. (3)(x) 3x

LAST

(x + 3)(x – 4)

The terms in red are the last terms.

Multiply them. (3)(-4) -12

Now combine like terms.

First = x2 Outer = -4x Inner = 3x Last = -12

x2 – x – 12

(x + 3)(x – 4)

F L

O

I
