What is Reverse FOILing?

Reverse FOILing is the process of factoring a quadratic trinomial of the form ax² + bx + c back into two binomial factors (dx + e)(fx + g).

It involves finding two numbers that multiply to a · c and add up to b. This allows you to split the middle term and factor by grouping.

It is called 'reverse' FOILing because multiplying the resulting binomials using the FOIL method returns the original trinomial.
