Question

polynomial identities and proofs help please!!!

Answer 1

You are going to design an advertisement for a new polynomial identity that you are going to invent. Your goal for this activity is to demonstrate the proof of your polynomial identity through an algebraic proof and a numerical proof in an engaging way! Make it so the whole world wants to purchase your polynomial identity and can't imagine living without it!

You must:
1. Label and display your new polynomial identity
2. Prove that it is true through an algebraic proof, identifying each step
3. Demonstrate that your polynomial identity works on numerical relationships

Below is a list of some sample factors you may use to help develop your own identity.
(x – y)
(x + y)
(y + x)
(y – x)
(x + a)
(y + b)
(x^2 + 2xy + y^2)
(x^2 – 2xy + y^2)
(ax + b)
(cy + d)

Answer 2

help someone?

Answer 3

I'll help, do you have any ideas?

Answer 4

I have nothing. I'm not good at making my own stuff up.

Answer 5

That's ok, I'm just asking you to try. I'll help you, but I'm only willing to put in as much effort as you do.

Answer 6

ok but what am I suppose to do? I wasn't really taught?

Answer 7

Try to follow the directions as best as you can, and make something up, don't worry about messing up, that's what I'm here for. =)

Answer 8

do I just start putting stuff together?

Answer 9

Yep, go for it. =)

Answer 10

ok, so I kinda just put two together and did the distributive property? I used (x - y) and (y - x) and I got xy - x^2 - y^2 + yx

Answer 11

Looks good so far, keep it up!

Answer 12

I did a numerical relationship and it was correct but I don't understand an algebraic proof?

Answer 13

I think they just mean write out all the steps with algebra. It sounds like you kind of already did some of this already when you said you used the distributive property earlier.

Answer 14

oh ok so do you think I am done?

Answer 15

For the most part, it sounds like you might be. You might have to make it more like an advertisement, but that's just extra playing around. Make it sound good and have fun with it.

Answer 16

Thank you so much!!

Answer 17

Glad I could help! =D
