\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28b%2B1%2F3%29%28b%2B1%2F3%29\" Start with the given expression.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now let's FOIL the expression.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Remember, when you FOIL an expression, you follow this procedure:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28highlight%28b%29%2B1%2F3%29%28highlight%28b%29%2B1%2F3%29\" Multiply the First terms:\"%28b%29%2A%28b%29=b%5E2\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28highlight%28b%29%2B1%2F3%29%28b%2Bhighlight%281%2F3%29%29\" Multiply the Outer terms:\"%28b%29%2A%281%2F3%29=%281%2F3%29b\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28b%2Bhighlight%281%2F3%29%29%28highlight%28b%29%2B1%2F3%29\" Multiply the Inner terms:\"%281%2F3%29%2A%28b%29=%281%2F3%29b\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28b%2Bhighlight%281%2F3%29%29%28b%2Bhighlight%281%2F3%29%29\" Multiply the Last terms:\"%281%2F3%29%2A%281%2F3%29=%281%2A1%29%2F%283%2A3%29=1%2F9\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So we have the terms: \"b%5E2\", \"%281%2F3%29b\", \"%281%2F3%29b\", \"1%2F3%5E2\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"b%5E2%2B%281%2F3%29b%2B%281%2F3%29b%2B1%2F9\" Now add every term listed above to make a single expression.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"b%5E2%2B%282%2F3%29b%2B1%2F9\" Now combine like terms.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So \"%28b%2B1%2F3%29%28b%2B1%2F3%29\" FOILs to \"b%5E2%2B%282%2F3%29b%2B1%2F9\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In other words, \"%28b%2B1%2F3%29%28b%2B1%2F3%29=b%5E2%2B%282%2F3%29b%2B1%2F9\".
