Question

Find the product using the FOIL method.
(q-2)(q-8)

Answer 1

q²-10q+16

Explanation:

FOIL stands for:

First -> (q-2)(q-8)

Outer -> (q-2)(q-8)

Inner -> (q-2)(q-8)

Last -> (q-2)(x-8)

Following FOIL, we get:

(q-2)(q-8)

(q)(q)+(q)(-8)+(-2)(q)+(-2)(-8)

q²-8q-2q+16

q²-10q+16

Therefore, the expanded form is q²-10q+16

Answer 2

q^2-2q-8q+16
=q^2-10q+16
