FOIL is a mnemonic rule for multiplying binomial (that is, two-term) algebraic expressions.
FOIL abbreviates the sequence "First, Outside, Inside, Last"; it's a way of remembering that the product is the sum of the products of those four combinations of terms.
For instance, if we multiply the two expressions
(x + 1) (x + 2)
then the result is the sum of these four products:
x times x (the First terms of each expression)
x times 2 (the Outside pair of terms)
1 times x (the Inside pair of terms)
1 times 2 (the Last terms of each expression)
and so
(x + 1) (x + 2) = x^2 + 2x + 1x + 2 = x^2 + 3x + 2
[where the ^ is the usual way we indicate exponents here in Answers, because they're hard to represent in an online text environment].
Now, compare this to multiplying a pair of two-digit integers:
37 × 43
= (30 × 40) + (30 × 3) + (7 × 40) + (7 × 3)
= 1200 + 90 + 280 + 21
= 1591
The reason the two processes resemble each other is that multiplication is multiplication; the difference in the ways we represent the factors doesn't make it a fundamentally different operation.
The simplification of 25p^6q^9 / 45p^8q^4 using a positive exponent;
- Division is 5p^6 q^9 / 9p^8 q^4
- Elevated form is 5/9 p^-2 q^5
<h3>What are algebraic expressions?</h3>
Algebraic expressions are expressions made up of factors, variables, terms, coefficients and constants.
They are also comprised of arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, etc
We also know that index forms are also know as standard forms.
They are mathematical expressions showing the power of exponent of a variable in terms of another variable.
Given the index algebraic forms;
25p^6q^9 / 45p^8q^4
Using the rule of indices, we take the negative exponent of the divisor and multiply through.
We have;
5p^6 q^9 × 9p^-8 q^-4
Add exponential values
5/9 p^6-8 q^9 -4
5/9 p^-2 q^5
Thus, the expression is simplified to 5/9 p^-2 q^5

Question
<em>In a study of 100 new cars, 29 are white. Find p and q , where p is the proportion of new cars that are white.
</em>
Answer:
p = 0.29 and q = 0.71
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Total new cars = 100
White new cars = 29
Required
Determine p and q
From the question;
<em>p represents white new cars</em>
Hence;
Note that;
Substitute 29 for p
The proportion of p is calculate by dividing p by the total number of new cars (Same process is done for q)
For proportion of p
For proportion of q
X = 6
11-3x=-7
Subtract 11 from both sides.
-3x = -18
Divide -3 on both sides.
X = 6
