Lady Lovelace’s Question Is the following expression a polynomial? Response

Lady Lovelace’s Response It is not a polynomial because y over x squared is not a monomial. Agree Disagree

Descartes Question How do you check your answer when you subtract two polynomials? Response

Descartes Response You multiply your answer with the polynomial being subtracted. Agree Disagree

Einstein’s Question Name the property used to simplify Response

Pythagoras’ Question Explain how the square of a difference and the square of a sum are different. Response

Pythagoras’ Response The middle terms have different signs. Agree Disagree

Pascal’s Question If the GCF of two numbers is 1, must the numbers be prime? Response

Pascal’s Response No, the GCF of 4 and 9 is 1, but neither number is prime. Agree Disagree

Florence’s Question Do the numbers 11, 12 and 13 form a Pythagorean triple? Response
