More practice problems using the FOIL method, which we have been using, though we haven't named it yet.
(x + 3)(x + 2) = x2 + 2x + 3x + 6 = x2 +5x + 6
First terms = x * x = x2
Outside terms = x * 2 = 2x
Inside terms = 3 * x = 3x
Last terms = 3 * 2 = 6
This is for practice, so please do them! Do these and these below:
1) ( 8 + 6 ) x ( 11 - 3)
2) ( 7 + 2 ) x ( 13 + 3 )
3) ( 9 - 2 ) x ( 13 - 7 )
4) ( 5 - 7 ) x ( 7 + 6 )
5) ( x + 5 ) x ( x + 2 )
6) ( x + 5 ) x ( x - 7 )
7) ( x - 3 ) x ( x + 8 )
