Example Questions
Example Question #11 : 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 : 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 #14 : 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
.
Example Question #15 : Distributive Property
Multiply
Using the FOIL method:
Example Question #16 : Distributive Property
Use the FOIL method to simplify
FIRST:
OUTER:
INNER:
LAST:
Simplify (combinding like terms):
Answer:
Example Question #17 : Distributive Property
Evaluate using FOIL
First:
Outer:
Inner:
Last:
Simplify (combind like terms):
Answer:
Example Question #18 : Distributive Property
Factor the polynomial.
We need to factor to find terms that multiply to and add to
.
Now we can write our factored expression.
We can check our answer using FOIL.
Example Question #19 : Distributive Property
Expand:
To multiply , you can use the FOIL method. Using the FOIL method, you must multiply each of the terms individually:
. This gives you the end result of
.
Example Question #13 : How To Use Foil In The Distributive Property
Multiply the following binomials.
Use the FOIL method.
First:
Inside:
Ouside:
Last:
Sum the terms. No terms can be combined in this example.
