It’s your turn to be a game show host! As you know, in the game of Math Time, the contestants are given an answer and they must come up with the question that corresponds to the given answer. Your task for this portion of the assignment is to create two different “answers” (and the questions that accompany them) that the host could use for the final round of Math Time. The questions and answers you create must be unique. Check out the example and hint below, if needed.

Example: Question for Host: x2 + 6x + 5 is the product of these two binomials. Expected Question from Contestant: What is (x + 5)(x + 1)? HINT: Create the two binomials first and then use the distribution method to find their simplified product. The simplified product is the answer and the two binomial factors, the expected question.

So you need examples of 2binominal problems? Or can be be something else too. It's not very hard to come up with some of these

thomaster (thomaster):

like: \((x-3)(x+5)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so all ineed to come up with is that kind of stuff^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but wait is that all i have to do? im just confused on like the activity itself like wtf am i supposed to do

thomaster (thomaster):

Do you know how to solve (x-3)(x+5)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um kinda?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im supposed to solve them too??

thomaster (thomaster):

yes the question says you need to provide the question and the expected answer. The question would be: \(x^2-2x-15\) is the product of these 2 binomials. the expected answer is \((x-3)(x+5)\)

thomaster (thomaster):

Another example is \(8(a+b)ab\), the question would be \(8a^2b+8ab^2\)

thomaster (thomaster):

Or a different kind of question: expected answer: what is the square root of \(x^{\frac{1}{2}}\) the question whould be \(\sqrt{x}\)

oh oakay i think i kinda understand
