\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%285x%2B4%29%284x-1%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%285x%29%2B4%29%28highlight%284x%29-1%29\" Multiply the First terms:\"%285%2Ax%29%2A%284%2Ax%29=20%2Ax%5E2\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28highlight%285x%29%2B4%29%284x%2Bhighlight%28-1%29%29\" Multiply the Outer terms:\"%285%2Ax%29%2A%28-1%29=-5%2Ax\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%285x%2Bhighlight%284%29%29%28highlight%284x%29-1%29\" Multiply the Inner terms:\"%284%29%2A%284%2Ax%29=16%2Ax\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%285x%2Bhighlight%284%29%29%284x%2Bhighlight%28-1%29%29\" Multiply the Last terms:\"%284%29%2A%28-1%29=-4\".\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: \"20%2Ax%5E2\", \"-5%2Ax\", \"16%2Ax\", \"-4\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"20%2Ax%5E2-5%2Ax%2B16%2Ax-4\" Now add every term listed above to make a single expression.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"20x%5E2%2B11x-4\" Now combine like terms.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So \"%285x%2B4%29%284x-1%29\" FOILs to \"20x%5E2%2B11x-4\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In other words, \"%285x%2B4%29%284x-1%29=20x%5E2%2B11x-4\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
