Question

could you help me with this one I can't figure it out @steffw its the foil method
(m – 3n2)2

Answer 1

if you mean (2)(m-3n^2), you dont need the foil method. you simply multiply 2 by everything inside the parentheses.
2 x m = 2m
2 x -3n^2 = -6n^2
so 2m-6n^2 :)

Answer 2

@NaomiBell1997 you need to make it clear if you mean X 2 or ^2.

Answer 3

^2

Answer 4

the foil method is a self defining algorithm, it uses mathematical properties, but is itself nothing more than a memory device to help you remember a way to approach the solution.

oilf, lifo, flio, and any number of permutations would also fit the bill.

Answer 5

the irony is of course that you cant seem to foil it ... what are you attempting?
