Hi,
Find the product:
 (1/4x^2 - 2/7)(-1/2x - 1/2) 
using FOIL
F	First terms  -1/8 x^3 = {{{(1/4)x^2(-1/2)x}}}  
O	Outside terms  -1/8 x^2 =  {{{(1/4)x^2(-1/2)}}}
I	Inside terms  2/14 x   = {{{(-2/7)(-1/2)x }}}
L	Last terms     &lt;u&gt;2/14&lt;/u&gt;  = {{{(-2/7)(-1/2)}}}

                      {{{(-1/8)x^3 -(1/8)x^2 + (1/7)x + 1/7}}}
