homework: Math pg. 429 (1-4all) and (10-20 evens)
PLEASE MEMORIZE PARTS FOR THE PLAY!!!!


Today we learned Factoring Polynomials; how if two of the whole numbers can be reduced then reduce them. Then ,if you can, the other whole numbers should be reduced.
   
   EX.         6xy + 24x3y3 + 15 +60 x2y2
      FIRST SINCE THE FIRST TWO HAVE SIX, X, AND Y  IN COMMON YOU DIVIDE IT.
             6xy(1 + 4x2y2)
      THEN THE LAST TWO HAVE 15 IN COMMON SO YOU DIVIDE IT.
        15(1+4x2y2)  -since 15 can't divide the variables you put them down with the original/new owner.
      BUT THEN YOU SEE IN THE PARENTHESIS THEY ARE ALL THE SAME YOU CHANGE IT. SO YOU GET.....
        (6xy+15)(1+4x2y2) -WOULD BE YOUR ANSWER!!!!:)

Note: In this example the larger numbers are constants and the smaller digits are exponents.
