FOIL inquiry
- Thread starter turlisk
- Start date
Anytime you want to. Just make sure you do the multiplication correctly. In other words if the problem were 2(a+b)(c+d+f) you could do the multiplication of 2 first getting (2a+2b)(c+d+f) then do the remaining multiplication. Or you could multiply 2(c+d+f) first then (a+b)(2c+2d+2f). Or you could multiply (a+b)(c+d+e) first, then multiply that result by 2.

2(a^2 + a)(3a^2 + 6a)
i know i would follow the foil steps but at which point would i multiply the equation by 2?
Did you - by any chance - start with:
2a(a+1)(3a+6) ?

no the problem i wrote above is exactly how it is listed. i figured it out already though with the answer by loren, Thank you though.
and now i have a new inquiry but i don't know if you use FOIL for this or not.. (x + y)^3 is the exact equation, people were saying use Pascal's Triangle but i have no idea how that works (haven't covered it yet) so any advice on how to solve this one would be great.
That's not an equation.turlisk said:(x + y)^3 is the exact equation, ...
What is the question?

What is the question?
Simplify the exponents in each exponent and the problem is (x+y)^3
what would be the easiest way to work on problems such as this?

That's not really helping, however that's okay i found my answer already thanks for replying.

BUT you were not asking for "help", but for an opinion :wink:
