1. **First:** Multiply the first terms of each binomial:
   $$
   v \times v = v^2.
   $$

2. **Outer:** Multiply the outer terms:
   $$
   v \times (-7) = -7v.
   $$

3. **Inner:** Multiply the inner terms:
   $$
   9 \times v = 9v.
   $$

4. **Last:** Multiply the last terms of each binomial:
   $$
   9 \times (-7) = -63.
   $$

5. **Combine like terms:**
   $$
   v^2 - 7v + 9v - 63 = v^2 + 2v - 63.
   $$
$$ (v + 9)(v - 7) = v^2 + 2v - 63 $$

\( 1 \leftarrow \quad \) Use the FOIL method to find the product. \[ (v+9)(v-7) \]
