Compilation of ECE Mnemonics How to multiply two binomials together?

BINOMIAL MULTIPLICATION If you had to multiply two binomials together such as (a+b) and (c+d), how would you keep track of the resulting products to make sure that you have multiplied everything and not left anything out. Think of FOIL First, Outer, Inner, Last (a+b)*(c+d) = ac(first) + ad(outer) + bc(inner) +bd(last) Factoring a Trinomial with a Lead Coefficient

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

The "3R" Method: "R"emove the lead coefficient, but don't throw it away. Multiply the constant with the lead coefficent. Factor the remaining trinomial "R"eplace the lead coefficent you removed. Put it in front of both x's. "R"educe! Reduce the numbers in each set of parenthesis, as you would a fraction, to lowest terms. Optional - use the FOIL method to check and see that I am right. *note: if the three numbers in the trinomial have a common factor it must be factored out in the beginning for the "3R" method to work. Mnemonic device The alligators always want to eat the most they can. (They always eat the bigger number.) EX: 1 < 2 Explanation Helps with greater then and less then.
