How To Multiply a Binomial to a Trinomial - Math Tutorial

The video tutorial explains how to multiply a binomial by a trinomial using the FOIL method and distribution property. It guides through multiplying each term, combining like terms, and simplifying the expression to reach the final answer in standard form.

What is the first step when multiplying a binomial by a trinomial?

• Subtract the constant terms

• Multiply each term in the binomial by each term in the trinomial

• Divide the trinomial by the binomial

• Add all the coefficients together

Which method is a helpful way to remember how to multiply binomials?

• COIL method

• FOIL method

• SOIL method
