Question

When using FOIL to multiply the binomials (2x – 1)(–3x + 4), what is the value of the "inner" terms?

Answer 1

\((a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd\)

Answer 2

\[(\overbrace{\overbrace{\color{orange}a
+\underbrace{\color{cornflowerblue}b)(\color{seagreen}c}_{\text{Inside}}}^{\text{First}}
+\color{brown}d}^{\text{Outside}})
=\overbrace{\color{orange}a\color{seagreen}c}^\text F
+\overbrace{\color{orange}a\color{brown}d}^\text O
+\underbrace{\color{cornflowerblue}b\color{seagreen}c}_\text I
+\underbrace{\color{cornflowerblue}b\color{brown}d}_\text L\\
\qquad\quad \underbrace{\qquad\qquad}_{\text{Last}}\]

Answer 3

really its just distribution
\((a+b)(c+d)=(a+b)c+(a+b)d=ac+bc+ad+bd\)

Answer 4

(2x)(-3x+4) + (-1)(-3x+4)
