FOIL

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

FOIL — First, Outer, Inner, Last — orders the four products when two binomials multiply.

Show

(x + 3)(x + 5): First x², Outer 5x, Inner 3x, Last 15 — collected, x² + 8x + 15.

Watch for

FOIL is distribution with a memory aid; it works on binomials only.

Builds on

  • Nothing — this is a starting point.

Unlocks

  • Nothing yet depends on this.
