Sagot :
Answer:
[tex] {x}^{2} + x - 4[/tex]
Explanation:
Using the foil method the answer is x²+x-4
What is FOIL method?
The FOIL method lets you multiply two binomials in a particular order. The letters in FOIL refer to two terms (one from each of two binomials) multiplied together in a certain order: First, Outer, Inner, and Last.
F-first
- The first is to multiply x from the first binomial to x from the second binomial.
O-outer
- The outer is to multiply x from the first binomial to -2 from the second binomial.
I-inner
- The inner is to multiply 2 from the first binomial to x from the second binomial.
L-last
- The last is to multiply 2 from the first binomial to -2 from the second binomial.
Solution:
First: x × x = x²
Outer: x × -2 = -2x
Inner: 2 × x = 2x
Last: 2 × -2 = -4
Add:
x² -2x
+ 2x -4
--------------------------
x² + x -4
