FOIL
(x+4)(x+2) = X2 + 6x + 8
What is reverse FOIL?
a means to convert a quadratic from expanded to factored
(i.e. x2 + 6x -16 to (x-2)(x+8))
What two qualifiers determine the factors needed for reverse foil (factoring the polynomial)?
Ex: x2 + 6x - 16
1) The product of the last terms will be -16
2) The sum of the outer and inner products will be 6x
What two numbers multiply to -16 and add to 6x? (x ) (x )
