What does it mean to multiply binomials?

Back

Multiplying binomials involves using the distributive property to find the product of two binomials.

Front

What is the distributive property?

Back

The distributive property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac, allowing you to multiply a single term by two or more terms inside a parenthesis.

What is the FOIL method?

Back

FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last; a method used to multiply two binomials.

Front

Using FOIL, find the product of (x + 2)(x + 3).

Back

x² + 5x + 6

What are like terms?

Back

Like terms are terms that have the same variable raised to the same power, such as 2x and 3x.
