Hi, I've done 95% of the work for this assignment but I just need some help with explanation of the concept. I had to create a polynomial identity and matching algebraic proof and "market" it. this is what I created:

(ax + b)(x + a) = ax^2 + (a^2 + b)x + ab
And I demonstrated it by substituting in 2 for a and 3 for b.
This resulted in (2x + 3)(x + 2) = 2x^2 + 7x + 6
I demonstrated again using 8 for a and 12 for b.
(8x + 12)(x + 8) = 8x^2 + 76x + 96
The only part I need help with is marketing...i.e. what situation can this proof be applied to? Need to learn, not just answer.

MEDALS AND FAN
I also need help with numerical relationships.

If you can help with this, I will be soooo grateful. I've been working on it for 4 freaking hours and no one has stopped chatting to help me.

@tgawade Can you please help? I'm so stuck.

anonymous · Answer

What do you want to find  ?

sorry im in geometry too

anonymous · Answer

@tgawade I need to create my own polynomial identity and algebraic proof. That's what I'm looking for. I thought I had one that worked, but the numeric relationship doesn't work.

anonymous · Answer

No prob, good luck :)

anonymous · Answer

And once I do that, I essentially need to determine what it's good for.

anonymous · Answer

To market your idea you must first find an audience.
Who would benefit from your polynomial or better yet what problem would it solve?

anonymous · Answer

You have created a polynomial with the variables, a, b, and x. Assuming A and B as your independent variables, meaning they do not change, create a situation in which the depending variable x can be used to solve your polynomial.

anonymous · Answer

Math students could benefit from the identity. I'm stuck on the second part.

anonymous · Answer

How can they benefit from this?

anonymous · Answer

What problem will it solve?

anonymous · Answer

I think I've got it :)
