The FOIL method, standing for First, Outer, Inner, Last, is a technique utilized for the multiplication of binomials. It involves multiplying the First terms in each of the binomials, followed by the Outer, Inner, and Last terms. The final step involves adding all the results together, and simplifying any similar terms. This method is particularly useful when it comes to expanding and simplifying expressions involving polynomials.
