on Week 8 – Multiplying Two Binomials using the Distributive Property
on During the eighth week of Foundations of Mathematics and Pre-Calculus, I learned how to multiply two binomials. This can be completed by the correct use of distributive property. The method that is used in the distributive property can be simplified into noticing that the four monomial products (a + b)(c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd can be memorized using the acronym FOIL. For example: 
, to find this product, simply use FOIL. Your answer is 
. FOIL stands for F: first term in each bracket, O: outside terms, I: inside terms, and L: last term in each bracket.
