that's FOIL, right? i think it would be better if you explained what exactly to do rather than giving an equation, but that's just me
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I did not get that
OpenStudy (aripotta):
you have to use FOIL. First times First, Outer times Outer, Inner times Inner, and Last times Last
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1 multiply the first numbers in both the parenthesis x & x
2 multiply the outer numbers in both parenthesis ( x & b)
3 multiply the inner numbers (x&a)
4 multiply the last numbers ( a &b)
Source(s): wiki
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok this is gonna sound really stupid on my part but how can I multiply if I don't know what x is?
Still Need Help?
