The Students' Conjectures

Emily and Zach have two different polynomials to multiply:

Polynomial product A:
(4x2 – 4x)(x2 – 4) Polynomial product B:
(x2 + x – 2)(4x2 – 8x)
They are trying to determine if the products of the two polynomials are the same. But they disagree about how to solve this problem.

1. Complete the table to summarize each student's conjecture about how to solve the problem. (2 points: 1 point for each row of the chart)

Who do you think is correct? (1 point)




Analyzing the Data

Table Method:

2. Use the table to find the products of the two polynomials. Write your answer in descending order. (4 points: 2 points for each product)

A) (4x2 – 4x)(x2 – 4)

4x2 –4x
x2
–4










B) (x2 + x – 2)(4x2 – 8x)

there's another part on my profile, can u do it to please!!

Answer: there's one more screen shot but the limit is 5... so ill type it out!

7. Are the two products the same when you multiply them vertically? (1 point)

Yes they are

Making a Decision:

8. Who was right, Emily or Zach? Are the products the same with the three different methods of multiplication? (1 point)

They were both correct

9. Which of these three methods is your preferred method for multiplying polynomials? Why? (1 point)

I prefer the first one, Table method. To me it is easier and the fastest out of them all.

SOME ASSISTANCE PLS M8S!!​

Roberto is going to the zoo! The entrance fee is $25 and each souvenir costs $3.75. He
has $40. Roberto thinks that this inequality could be use to find the number of souvenirs
he can purchase. Is he correct?
3.755 + 25 < 40
No the inequality symbol should be greater than or equal to
No it should be minus 25
No the letters should be next to the 25
yes this is correct

You are driving up a mountain. At the base of the mountain you see a sign that states the elevation above sea level is 3,720 feet at this point. You then travel a horizontal distance of 5 miles to the top of the mountain, and see another sign that states the elevation is 4,215 feet above sea level. What was the average slope of the mountain you just climbed in feet/mile?

A) 843 ft/mi
B) 744 ft/mi
C) 99 ft/mi
D) 0.0188 ft/mi
