A)

B)

7. Are the two products the same when you multiply them vertically? (1 point)

Making a Decision:

8. Who was right, Emily or Zach? Are the products the same with the three different methods of multiplication? (1 point)

9. Which of these three methods is your preferred method for multiplying polynomials? Why? (1 point)

6. Find the product for both sets of polynomials below by multiplying vertically. (4 points: 2 points for each product)

A)

4x^4 - 4x^3 - 16x^2 + 16x

B)

4x^4 - 4x^3 - 16x^2 + 16x

7. Are the two products the same when you multiply them vertically? (1 point)

Yes, the two products are the same when you multiply them.

Making a Decision:

8. Who was right, Emily or Zach? Are the products the same with the three different methods of multiplication? (1 point)

Emily was right, the products are the same with all three different methods of multiplication.

9. Which of these three methods is your preferred method for multiplying polynomials? Why? (1 point)

I prefer the table method because it is easier to understand what is going on, know where and what to do, and it is nicely and neatly laid out in front of me.

step-by-step explanation:

the options are kind of confusing. i can tell you what i see going on here when i look at the graph.

the class and exam medians are closely related, and it looks like the low outlier on the exam did pull the median lower. [tex][/tex]
