IM Alg1.7.10 Practice: Rewriting Quadratic Expressions in Factored Form (Part 4)
To write in factored form, Diego first listed pairs of factors of -10. Use what Diego started to complete the rewriting.
How did you know you’ve found the right pair of expressions? What did you look for when trying out different possibilities?
To rewrite in factored form, Jada listed some pairs of factors of : Use what Jada started to rewrite in factored form.
Rewrite each quadratic expression in factored form. Then, use the zero product property to solve the equation.
Han is solving the equation . Here is his work: Describe Han’s mistake. Then, find the correct solutions to the equation.
A picture is 10 inches wide by 15 inches long. The area of the picture, including a frame that is inch thick, can be modeled by the function . Use function notation to write a statement that means: the area of the picture, including a frame that is 2 inches thick, is 266 square inches.
What is the total area if the picture has a frame that is 4 inches thick?
