Question

Solve (q - 3/4) ( q + 1/4) using the FOIL method. QUICK PLEASE !

Answer 1

Answer: q^2 - 1/2q - 3/16

Step-by-step explanation:

(q - 3/4) ( q + 1/4)

• First: (q)(q) = q^2
• Outer: (q)(1/4) = 1/4q
• Inner: (-3/4)(q) = -3/4q
• Last: (-3/4)(1/4) = -3/16

(q - 3/4) ( q + 1/4)

= q^2 + 1/4q - 3/4q - 3/16

= q^2 - 1/2q - 3/16
