FOIL Practice

Front

What does FOIL stand for in algebra?

Back

FOIL stands for First, Outer, Inner, Last, which are the terms used to remember the order of multiplying two binomials.

Front

What is the result of applying the FOIL method to (x - 1)(x - 8)?

Back

The result is x² - 9x + 8.

Front

How do you apply the FOIL method to (2x + 3)(2x - 3)?

Back

First: 2x * 2x = 4x²; Outer: 2x * -3 = -6x; Inner: 3 * 2x = 6x; Last: 3 * -3 = -9. Combine to get 4x² - 9.

Front

What is the expanded form of 5(2x + 6)?

Back

The expanded form is 10x + 30.

Front

What does the 'F' in FOIL represent?

The 'F' in FOIL represents 'First', referring to the first terms in each binomial.

Front

What does the 'O' in FOIL represent?

Back

The 'O' in FOIL represents 'Outer', referring to the outer terms in the binomials.

Front

What does the 'I' in FOIL represent?

Back

The 'I' in FOIL represents 'Inner', referring to the inner terms in the binomials.

Front

What does the 'L' in FOIL represent?

Back

The 'L' in FOIL represents 'Last', referring to the last terms in each binomial.

Front

What is the product of (x + 2)(x + 3) using the FOIL method?

Back

The product is x² + 5x + 6.

Front

How do you find the product of two binomials?

Back

Use the FOIL method: multiply the First, Outer, Inner, and Last terms, then combine like terms.
