Multiply using the FOIL method.
-$( 4 x - 1 ) ( x - 3 )$
A) $x ^ { 2 } + 3 x - 13$
B) $x ^ { 2 } - 13 x - 14$
C) $4 x ^ { 2 } - 14 x + 3$
D) $4 x ^ { 2 } - 13 x + 3$

The FOIL method involves multiplying the first terms, the outer terms, the inner terms, and the last terms together. For $(4x - 1)(x - 3)$, this results in $4x^2 - 12x - x + 3$, which simplifies to $4x^2 - 13x + 3$.

Multiply Using the FOIL Method (4x−1)(x−3)( 4 x - 1 ) ( x - 3 )(4x−1)(x−3)
