This math topic focuses on the skill of multiplying bracketed terms in algebraic functions, specifically when the same variable is used. It drills learners on expanding such expressions, often seen in polynomials and quadratic functions. The problems require correct calculation of multiple terms, including squared variables, variables, and constant terms. Answer choices show common mistakes and the importance of sign accuracy when multiplying positive and negative numbers. This is part of the broader topic of polynomials and quadratics at an advanced level.

🎙️
Let's multiply these bracketed terms together
🎙️
To multiply terms in brackets we need to multiply each pair of terms. We can use the acronym foil, for first outer inner last, to remember
🎙️
Let's multiply our first terms, we have 'X' times 'Y'
🎙️
Now our outer terms, that's minus 7 'X'
🎙️
Then our inner terms, which is plus 4 'Y'
🎙️
And our last terms, which is minus 28
