explain in your own words how to construct a perfect squaretrinomial, a difference of two squares and/or a polynomial with acommon factor. In other words, if you were teaching a math class,how would you construct problems to practice one or more of thoseskills?
Choose one operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication ordivision) and give an example of that operation on fractions and onrational expressions (you may select an example from Chapter 6 ofthe text or your MML problem set). Alternatively, you may choose towork with equations containing fractions and equations containingrational expressions. Explain how the procedures are the sameand/or different for the two examples.
You have learned several ways to solve quadratic equations –factoring, the square root method, completing the square and thequadratic formula. Pick one method and describe when it is and isnot appropriate to use that particular method. Include an exampleof a problem that is easily solved using your chosen method and onethat would be easier solved using a different method.
