Polynomial Addition Pyramids (B) WORKSHEET
Understand that polynomials form a system analogous to the integers, namely, they are closed under the operations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication; add, subtract, and multiply polynomials.
Choose and produce an equivalent form of an expression to reveal and explain properties of the quantity represented by the expression.★ a. Factor a quadratic expression to reveal the zeros of the function it defines. b. Complete the square in a quadratic expression to reveal the maximum or minimum value of the function it defines. c. Use the properties of exponents to transform expressions for exponential functions. For example the expression 1.15t can be rewritten as (1.151/12)12t ≈ 1.01212t to reveal the approximate equivalent monthly interest rate if the annual rate is 15%
Polynomial Addition Pyramids (B) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
The worksheet provides a familiar activity for synthresizing the skills of combining like terms and simplifying expressions. The worksheet has three sections that give an increasing level of difficulty. The addition pyramids begin with three rows and then progress to four rows with more complicated expressions to add. This worksheet extends on Polynomial Addition Pyramids (A) by including constant terms.
All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Math.
