Explain how you can use the distributive property to check the binomial factors when a trinomial has been factored. Include an example in your explanation.
You use FOIL (first, outer, inner, last) to check your answer. Eg: (x-4)(x+3)then distribute by using FOIL to get 2 2 x +3x -4x -12 then simplify to get x -x -12
