Question

Algebra homework help please?

Answer 1

First you will need to create your own rational expression. This will be your “game piece.” You will also need a coin with two different sides to keep track of “heads” versus “tails.”

1. Create a rational expression to be your game piece. You may choose from the list of factors below or make your own. There must be a variable term in both the numerator and denominator.
(5x)
(2x)
(x + 4)
(x – 5)
(2x + 1)
(3x + 5)
2. Turn one. Flip your coin and perform the appropriate operation. Explain to the game master how to add your rational expression to the one on the correct space. Use complete sentences.

3. Turn two. Flip your coin and perform the appropriate operation. Discuss and identify any possible restrictions that exist with (or in) the resulting rational expression.

4. Turn three. Flip your coin and perform the appropriate operation. Explain to the game master how to multiply your rational expression to the one on the correct space. Use complete sentences.

5. Turn four. Flip your coin and perform the appropriate operation. Discuss why the degree of the resulting denominator did not change from your expression’s degree.

6. Turn five, the final level! Perform the appropriate operation. Using complete sentences, describe the steps you used.

Answer 2

Strange questions, I'm thinking that the game could be like a large checkerboard. The numerator would say how many spaces to go left or right, depending if it was positive or negative. Denominator could determine how many spaces to go up or down.

Flipping the coin rules: If you got an head, the number for X would be "1". Evaluate the expression. If tails, X would be 0, evaluate the expression. The only restrictions would be you could not have a zero in the denominator.

Winning: if playing against another person, take turns flipping coin and using the same equation. The 1st person to go "off-the-grid" loses. A variation would be to use different equations for each player.

Make sense? Does that seem reasonable? Strange question.

Answer 3

Yeah, my teacher gives weird assignments haha.
And no I don't really understand?
