Multiplication of Binomial by Binomial

Multiplication of Binomial by Binomial, we use a FOIL method.

F = First terms

O = Outer terms

I = Inner terms

L = Last terms


Example:
1)

2) (2x -1)(5x +6)

Solution :
= (2x . 5x)+ (2x . 6) + (-1 . 5x)+ (-1 . 6)
= 10x2 + 12x - 5x -6 (add like terms)
= 10x2 + 7x - 6

3) (8x - 3)( 9x -2)

Solution :
= (8x . 9x)+ (8x . -2)+ (-3 . 9x) + (-3 . -2)
= 72x2 - 16x - 27x + 6
=72x2 - 43x + 6

4) (y + 2) ( y - 2)

Solution :
= (y . y)+ (7 . -2)+ (2 . y)+ (2 . -2)
= y2 + 2y - 2y - 4
= y2 + 0 - 4
= y2 - 4

5) (x2 + 5)(x2 + 10)

Solution :
= (x2 . x2)+ (x2 . 10)+ (5 . x2)+ (5 . 10)
= x2 + 2 + 10x2 + 5x2 + 50
= x4 + 15x2 + 50

6) (2x2 + 8)(x2 - 7)

Solution :
= (2x2 . x2)+ (2x2 . (-7)+ (8 . x2)+ (8 . (-7)
= 2x2 + 2 - 14x2 + 8x2 -56
= 2x4- 6x2 - 56
