Archimedes’ Question What is the area of the rectangle? Response
Archimedes’ Response Agree Disagree
Sofia’s Question When do you use positive exponents in scientific notation? Response
Sofia’s Response When the number is less than 1. Agree Disagree
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
Einstein’s Response The distributive property. Agree Disagree
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
Florence’s Response Yes, because 11 + 12 + 13 = 36 and the square root of 36 is the whole number 6. Agree Disagree
