Question

Use the FOIL method to find the product:
(6x^6-2)(x^9-4)

Answer 1

this means do 4 multiplications, that is all. FOIL is a bad joke perpetrated by bad math teachers
you need
\[6x^6\times x^9+6x^6\times (-4)-2\times x^9-2\times (-4)\]

Answer 2

I got 6x^15 -2x^9-24x^6+8. Can you tell me if this correct?

Answer 3

FOIL = First, Outside, Inside, Last.
It's the order in which you multiply the numbers in the brackets.

Answer 4

so is LIFO :)

Answer 5

and 22 other iterations of the lettering

Answer 6

6x^6 -2
x^9 -4
------------
6x^15 -2x^9
-24x^6 +8
---------------------
\(6x^15 -2x^9-24x^6 +8\)

Answer 7

so yes, your answer is correct

Answer 8

i am partial to LOIF myself
