<PRE><B>Question 70186</B>
What does a binomial multiplied by a binomial look like?  Is it something like this  (2x+9)(3x-9)?  How doI solve this type of problem?
------------
Yes, that is a binomial multiplied by a binomial.
You multiply using a process called FOIL:
(2x+9)(3x-9)
F: (2x)(3x)=6x^2
O: (2x)(-9)=-18x
I: (9)(3x)=27x
L: (9)(-9)=-81
--------
Combine these four results to get:
6x^2+9x-81
That is the product of the two binomials.
