Expanding two brackets
How do I expand two brackets using FOIL?
-
Every term in the first bracket must be multiplied by every term in the second bracket
-
Expanding (x + 1)(x + 3) requires 4 multiplications in total
-
-
A good way to remember all the multiplications is FOIL
-
F = First: multiply together the first terms in each bracket
-
O = Outside: multiply the first term in the first bracket by the last term in the last bracket
-
Visually, these are the outer terms
-
-
I = Inside: multiply the last term in the first bracket by the first term in the last bracket
-
Visually, these are the inner terms
-
-
L = Last: multiply together the last terms in each bracket
-
-
It helps to put negative terms in brackets when multiplying
-
Simplify the final answer by collecting like terms (if there are any)
How do I expand two brackets using a grid?
-
You may prefer a more visual method using a grid
-
To expand (x + 1)(x + 3), write out the brackets as row and column headings of a grid
-
They can be in either direction
-
Remember to write the appropriate sign in front of each term
x
+1
x
+3
-
-
For each cell in the grid, multiply the term in the row heading by the term in the column heading
x
+1
x
x2
x
+3
3x
3
-
Add together all the terms inside the grid to get the answer
-
x2 + x + 3x + 3
-
-
Collect like terms
-
x2 + 4x + 3
How do I expand a bracket squared?
-
Remember that a square number is a number multiplied by itself
-
Write (x + 3)2 as (x + 3)(x + 3) and use one of the methods above
-
With FOIL: (x + 3)(x + 3) = x2 + 3x + 3x + 9
-
Then collect like terms: x2 + 6x + 9
-
-
Do not make the common mistake of saying (x + 3)2 is x2 + 32
-
This cannot be true, try substituting in x = 1
-
you would get (1 + 3)2 = 42 = 16 on the left
-
but 12 + 32 = 1 + 9 = 10 on the right
-
-
Worked Example

Using FOIL, multiply together the first, outer, inner and last terms
