The Students' Conjectures

Emily and Zach have two different polynomials to multiply:

Polynomial product A:
(4x2 – 4x)(x2 – 4) Polynomial product B:
(x2 + x – 2)(4x2 – 8x)
They are trying to determine if the products of the two polynomials are the same. But they disagree about how to solve this problem.

1. Complete the table to summarize each student's conjecture about how to solve the problem. (2 points: 1 point for each row of the chart)

Evaluating the Conjectures

Who do you think is correct? (1 point)

Analyzing the Data

Table Method:

2. Use the table to find the products of the two polynomials. Write your answer in descending order. (4 points: 2 points for each product)

A) (4x2 – 4x)(x2 – 4)

4x2 –4x
x2
–4

B) (x2 + x – 2)(4x2 – 8x)

there's another part on my profile, can u do it to please!!
