Question 461997: I am having a lot of problems understanding how this works as I've tried to understand it based on others explanations. I vaugely remember the foil method as I know it was used in areas such as this but it's been a very long time since I've done them. If you could please help me understand how to get the right answer in easier to understand terms step by step for each I would really appreciate it! Thanks!!
