Example1. Expand (2x-1)(4x+5)
Solution: (2x-1)(4x+5)
FOIL method : (a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd
=(color{red}{2x}+color{blue}{(-1)})(color{green}{4x}+color{purple}{5})
=color{red}{2x}*(color{green}{4x}+color{purple}{5})+color{blue}{(-1)}*(color{green}{4x}+color{purple}{5})
=color{red}{2x}*color{green}{4x}+color{red}{2x}*color{purple}{5}+color{blue}{(-1)}*color{green}{4x}+color{blue}{(-1)}*color{purple}{5}
=8x^2+10x+(-4x)+(-5)
=8x^2+6x-5
