Factoring Quadratic Expressions

2/28/09 1:38:28 AM

This is an activity for groups of two to four students. You will need a graphing calculator. Game Play
A spacecraft is going to a distant planet to collect and transmit data to the scientists This is a game for four students separated into two teams. Each team begins by
at mission control. The figure below represents an overhead view of a region of secretly developing eight factorable polynomial expressions and writing them in
interest on the surface of the planet. The five stars in the figure mark specific standard form at the bottom of the page. Teams exchange pages and attempt to
locations from which scientists want to receive data. factor the opponent’s functions. Then they write the factored form next to each
function.
The spacecraft will take a flight path that must be parabolic and passes over exactly
three of the targeted areas. There are ten different flight paths that pass over three
Rules
of the points. Find the ten equations that model these flight paths. Round your
answers to the nearest hundredth. You must have two of each of the following types of polynomials.
A. the binomial factors have all integer coefficients and terms, and the leading
D coefficient equals 1
4 Example: (x 1 2)(x 2 7) 5 x2 2 5x 2 14
A B. the binomial factors have all integer coefficients and terms, and one of the factors has
3 leading coefficient not equal to 1
2 Example: (2x 1 1)(x 2 3) 5 2x2 2 5x 2 3
C C. the binomial factors have all integer coefficients and terms, and both of the factors have
1 leading coefficients not equal to 1

This game is for three (or more) students separated into three teams. One team North America Europe
checks the answers, while the other two teams compete.

• The game board sheet shows six separate continents placed on grids. Curves divide each 3
23 22 21 1 2
continent into three or four regions (for example, Central, North, South, and East) with 2
different point values as shown below. 21
1
• Determine which team goes first. 24 23 22 21 O 1 2 22
21
• Begin your turn by identifying the region you wish to explore. 23
22
• Explore a territory by correctly writing the system of inequalities that includes the
23 24
territory as its solution. One solution per continent has been done for you.
24
• The checking team and opposing team should also try to identify the system. 25
• The checking team compares your answer to the provided solutions. If correct, the
territory is yours. If wrong, the correct system is not revealed and the territory remains South America Asia
available. In either case, your turn is over.
• Teams take turns until all territories have been explored—most points win! 2
