Using Algebra Tiles
Using Algebra Tiles
Remember that when multiplying positive and negatives the rules for integers apply. Make a distinction between positive and negative tiles. State the final product. 1) (2x + 1) (3x + 2) 2) (y + 4) (y + 2)
3)
(w + 1) (2w + 3)
4)
(2g + 3) (g + 2)
5)
(p + 3) (p 5)
6)
(2a 3) (a 1)
7) (2a + 1) (a 1)
8)
(3m 1) (2m 3)
USING ALGEBRA TILES: Factors of Polynomials Use Algebra Tiles to sketch the following rectangles. Remember that you can use the Zero Principle to add pairs of positive/negative x rectangles to complete the larger rectangle. Positive and negative tiles cannot be grouped together. Make a distinction between the positive and negative tiles. Determine the dimensions of each rectangle. 1) c2 + 5c + 4 2) y2 + 4y + 4
3)
w2 + w 12
4)
g2 - 8g + 12
5)
2p2 + 7p + 6
6)
3a2 + 8p + 4
7)
2a2 - 9a + 4
8)
2m2 + 5m - 3
