will fan and medal~ polynomials and identities ~ Basically I have an assignment where I need to make my own polynomial identity
Create your own using the columns below. See what happens when different binomials or trinomials are combined. Square one factor from column A and add it to one factor from column B to develop your own identity. Column A: (x − y) (x + y) (y + x) (y - x) Column B: (x2 + 2xy + y2) (x2 − 2xy + y2) (ax + b) (cy + d)
So do what they say. Square one factor from column A and add it to one factor from column B to develop your own identity. Column A: \( (x + y)^2 \) Column B: \( (x^2 + 2xy + y^2) \) add them \( (x + y)^2 + (x^2 + 2xy + y^2) = ?? \)
@Nixy so I'm literally just adding them together? It's just \[(x+y)^{2} + (x^{2} + 2xy + y^{2})\] ?
Yes. An identity is an equation that is always true. Once you solve by adding them together and put it on the other side of the = you will have an equation that is always true (identity)
For example. \( \huge \frac{a}{2} = a × 0.5 \) is an identitiy and is always true
so for the example you gave me, am I supposed to use the distributive property then?
i mean, for the first example
You need to expand this first (x+y)^2 and then add all like terms
Expand \( \huge(x+y)^2 \) and then add all like terms
so, expanding (x+y)^2 \[(x+y) \times (x+y)\] right?
\( \huge (x+y)(x+y) = ???\) is correct
Now times them using foil
x^2 + xy^2 + y^2 ?
So we have \( \huge x^2 + 2xy + y^2 \)
Now we have \( \huge x^2 + 2xy + y^2 + x^2 + 2xy + y^2 \) combine all like terms now.
Add all terms that can be added together.
x^4 + 4xy + y^4 ?
We should have \( \huge 2x^2+4xy+2y^2 \) You don't add the exponents x^2 + x^2 = 2x^2
So we have an identity now and no matter what value we use for x or y is always true.. Below is our identity So we have an identity below now. \( \large (x+y)^{2} + (x^{2} + 2xy + y^{2}) = 2x^2+4xy+2y^2 \)
Thank you so much for helping me, I'm actually understanding it a lot better now.
You can combine them in all types of ways to make an identity
You can subtract, divide, times, add and square them. They can get pretty complex or they can be simple. Any questions?
I think I've got it, thank you c:
YW, time for me to get to bed :-) Almost 12 AM here :-)
Haha, same here. This is part of my last assignment, and I just wanted to get it done right! Thanks again for all your help. You're a lifesaver.
