Group Activity: Exploring Geometric Sequences Through Collaborative Art
Objective: This group activity aims to encourage curiosity and creativity in understanding
geometric sequences, appreciate mathematical symmetry and relationships, and explore the
historical and cultural significance of geometric sequences in art, architecture, and nature
through collaborative artwork.
Materials Needed:
1. Large sheets of paper or poster boards
2. Drawing materials (pencils, markers, colored pencils, etc.)
3. Rulers or straight edges
4. Access to images of artwork, architecture, and natural phenomena showcasing geometric
patterns and sequences (can be printed or displayed digitally)
5. Optional: Internet access for further research
1. Given a polynomial f(x)=2x3−3x2+4x−5, use the Remainder Theorem to find the remainder
when f(x) is divided by x−2.
2. For the polynomial g(x)=x3−6x2+11x−6, show that x−1 is a factor by finding g(1) and verifying
that it equals zero.
3. Determine all possible rational roots for the polynomial h(x)=2x3−7x2+5x+6 using the
Rational Root Theorem.
4. Factor the polynomial p(x)=x3−4x2−x+4 completely.
**Answers:**
4. p(x)=(x−1)(x−2)(x+2).
8. x4−5x2+4=(x2−4)(x2−1)
