Week 2 Discussion: Exploring factors and Factoring TrinomialsDiscussion: Exploring factors and Factoring TrinomialsRequired ResourcesRead/review the following resources for this activity: OpenStax Textbook Readings Lesson in Canvas Assignments in Knewton Adding and Subtracting Polynomials Product Properties of Exponents Multiplying Polynomials Special Products of Binomials Quotient Properties of Exponents and Dividing Monomials Dividing Polynomials The Greatest Common Factor and Factoring by GroupingInitial Post InstructionsWe start the week by introducing polynomials. We will learn how to identify and simplify polynomials. We will also learn how to find the greatest common factor (GCF) among them. As our knowledge of polynomials grows, we will then move on to factoring trinomials. For your first post, search online for an article or video that describes how polynomials can be used in the real world. Provide a one paragraph summary of the article or video in your own words.Follow-Up Post InstructionsRespond to at least two peers in a substantive, content-specific way. Further the dialogue by providing more information and clarification.Writing RequirementsMinimum of 3 posts (1 initial & 2 follow-up) with first post by WednesdayAPA format for in-text citations and list of referencesGradingThis activity will be graded using the Discussion Grading Rubric.
