Question

Can any FLVS students help me get ready for the Module 7 polynomial DBA?

Answer 1

BTW- Its ALG. 1

Answer 2

Sure, I just did it yesterday

Answer 3

Literally this DBA I did yesterday, It's super easy

Answer 4

I got you man ;D

Answer 5

Thank you!

Answer 6

What should I know about it? I am familiar with what terms and degrees are but what else is there to know?

Answer 7

Yeah, one second, there are just a few things you have to remember, but I'm not gonna give you any answers

Answer 8

Hey, student here!
You can ask you're teacher to send you a review sheet.
Or you can go to Lessons > Tools (At the bottom of the page) and it will give you some papers on what shes going to ask you. Or, at the end of the lesson, there is a lesson summary; she uses that for the questions.

Answer 9

No thats more than fine. I don't need any answers, I just need to familiarize myself with the lesson @LearningIsAwesome

Answer 10

Okay, so you're going to want to remember how to classify polynomials, you remember that?

Answer 11

Into Mono, Bino, and Trino? Yes. I know how to do that.

Answer 12

Not just monomial binomial trinomial, remember how to determine the degree of a polynomial

Answer 13

Yes... Whatever term has the highest exponent. Example: 3x^4+7y+8y^2 Has three terms, and a degree of 4 right?

Answer 14

the sum of he exponents of the variables of one term with the highest sum.

Answer 15

So I am wrong with that example? Can you show me an example?

Answer 16

You want to remember -
how we classify polynomials
how to determine the degree of a polynomial (that one tripped me up)
how to put a polynomial in standard form
how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide polynomials

and thats it! Get a pencil and paper ready for a few practice problems as well!

Answer 17

No I believe you were correct on that example

Answer 18

When is your dba scheduled?

Answer 19

Okay great. And my DBA is scheduled for 3:45 today.

Answer 20

Okay, tag me on a question when you're doing it if you need any help during it, in the mean time, can you help me with a question on the module test?

Answer 21

Absolutely!!

Answer 22

Part A: Divide (8x^4y^3 + 4x^3y^2 - 2x^2y - 12x^2y^4) by -2x^2y. Show your work, and justify each step. (6 points)

I already did Part A and got -4x^2y^2-2xy+6y^3

Part B: How would your answer in Part A be affected if the x2 variable in the denominator was just an x? (2 points)

Answer 23

I just need help on part B

Answer 24

x2 or x^2?

Answer 25

x^2, which confuses me cause there's more than one x^2 in the numerator....

Answer 26

hmmmm... is it an extended response or multiple choice?

Answer 27

Extended response

Answer 28

Man I dont wanna point you in the wrong direction. I could guess but it probably wouldnt be correct and I dont wanna be the reason for your low score.

Answer 29

Im sorry.

Answer 30

Nah man it's all good, which x^2 could they be talking about?

Answer 31

OHHH LOOK!!! It says in the DENOMINATOR, not in the numerator xD

Answer 32

I dont know how I didn't see that. Lol

Answer 33

Me either!!!!!!!!!!! I feel so stupid, now this makes sense, I'm glad I didn't call my teacher and realize it over the phone with him lol

Answer 34

Yeah. Who is your teacher?

Answer 35

Mr. Wiggans

Answer 36

Yours?

Answer 37

John Gerbi

Answer 38

I have no idea, Mr. Wiggans is tough as nails, but I made him laugh yesterday haha
