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.
8x^4 + x^3 - 4x^2 +1. I believe the answer is B. Please correct me if I am wrong.
If you’re trying to elimination the answer would be (14,9)
Answer: 3, 6, 9, 12
Step-by-step explanation:
A geometric progression has a common ratio.
2,6, 18 and 54 has a common ratio of 3. When you multiply the first number by 3, you get the second number and the same thing applies to the third number.
1, 5, 25 and 125 has a common ratio of 5. When you multiply the first number by 5, you get the second number and the same thing applies to the third number.
4, 8, 16 and 32 has a common ratio of 2. When you multiply the first number by 2, you get the second number and the same thing applies to the third number.
3, 6, 9 and 12 is an arithmetic progression as 3 is added to each number
I'm assuming this is what they want? haha
