Ms. Coombs leads the students to use the
distributive property to expand y = (x
+ d)(x + e) as a way to test and generalize
their hypothesis about how to generate the
expanded form.
Ms. Coombs leads the class through the
factoring of the polynomial y = x2
– 2x – 24.
Day 4 - Clip 2
Ms. Coombs leads the students to use the
distributive property to expand y = (x +
d)(x + e) as a way to test and generalize their
hypothesis about how to generate the expanded
form. She uses the result of this generalization
to reverse the process and factor a quadratic
polynomial.
