Apply the FOIL method to multiply the binomials in each problem. Show your work clearly.
1. FOIL stands for First, Outer, , Last.
2. When multiplying (x + 2)(x + 3), the 'First' terms are and .
3. The 'Outer' terms in (y - 5)(y + 1) are and .
4. The 'Inner' terms in (2a + 1)(a - 4) are and .
5. The 'Last' terms in (3b - 2)(b + 6) are and .
