(3u^2v – 2)(4u^2v + 6)
3u^2v-2
4u^2v+6 now multiply
-----------------------
12u^4v^2-8u^2v+18u^2v-12 now combine like terms (-8u^2v+18u^2v).
12u^4v^2+10u^2v-12
2(6u^4v^2+5u^2v-6) answer.

Start with the given expression.


Now let's FOIL the expression.


Remember, when you FOIL an expression, you follow this procedure:


Multiply the First terms:.


Multiply the Outer terms:.


Multiply the Inner terms:.


Multiply the Last terms:.


Now collect every term to make a single expression.


Now combine like terms.


So FOILs to .


In other words, .
