How do you multiply these: (9 + √10)(9 - √10) Use the foil method when multiplying two binomials. (9 + √10)(9 - √10) = 9(9) + 9(-√10) + √10(9) + √10(-√10) {used foil method} = 81 - 9√10 + 9√10 - √100 {multiplied through} = 81 - √100 {combined like terms} = 81 - 10 {evaluated square root of 100 to be 10} = 71 - Algebra House
