Topic: Product of Two Binomials and Product of the Sum and Difference of Two Terms
Key Concept: The product of two binomials is given by the general formula: (a + b)(c + d) = ac + ad + bc
+ bd or this general form is sometimes called the FOIL Method where the letters of FOIL stand
for first, outside, inside, and last. While the sum and difference of two terms, each binomial
factor is made up of two terms. One factor is the sum of the terms and the other factor being
their difference. The general form is (a + b) (a – b), where the product of the sum and
difference of two terms is given by the general formula: (a + b) (a – b) = a2 – b2.
