5. Archimedes’ Question What is the area of the rectangle? Response

6. Archimedes’ Response Disagree Agree

7. Sofia’s Question When do you use positive exponents in scientific notation? Response

8. Sofia’s Response When the number is less than 1. Disagree Agree

9. Lady Lovelace’s Question Is the following expression a polynomial? Response

10. Lady Lovelace’s Response It is not a polynomial because y over x squared is not a monomial. Disagree Agree

11. Descartes Question How do you check your answer when you subtract two polynomials? Response

12. Descartes Response You multiply your answer with the polynomial being subtracted. Disagree Agree

13. Einstein’s Question Name the property used to simplify Response

14. Einstein’s Response The distributive property. Disagree Agree

15. Pythagoras’ Question Explain how the square of a difference and the square of a sum are different. Response

16. Pythagoras’ Response The middle terms have different signs. Disagree Agree

17. Pascal’s Question If the GCF of two numbers is 1, must the numbers be prime? Response

18. Pascal’s Response No, the GCF of 4 and 9 is 1, but neither number is prime. Disagree Agree

19. Florence’s Question Do the numbers 11, 12 and 13 form a Pythagorean triple? Response

20. Florence’s Response Yes, because 11 + 12 + 13 = 36 and the square root of 36 is the whole number 6. Disagree Agree

21. Euclid’s Question Describe the relationship between multiplying polynomials and factoring polynomials. Response
