Answers Algebra 2 Course, Unit 3 Worksheet 16 FOIL Method of Multiplying
Binomials Explained
The FOIL method is based on the acronym FOIL which means:
F the product of the First terms in each parenthesis,

O the product of the Outer terms in the parenthesis expression,

I the product of the Inner terms in the parenthesis expression,

L the product of the Last terms in the parenthesis expression,  
