Entrée: Google Slides

Using Google Slides, create a presentation demonstrating your

understanding of one of the concepts of Polynomials given below. This
presentation should be designed as if you were going to teach other
students.
You are able to gather information from your textbook, online resources
we have discussed in class, and online resources found on my webpage.
However, you MUST cite your sources. For example, if you find a graph
or an equation on a website, you must reference the website.

Choose one of the following Polynomial concepts:

Binomial FOIL Method Power of a Quotient
Constant Monomial Product of Powers
Degree of Polynomial Polynomial Quotient of Powers
Degree of Monomial Trinomial Zero Exponent
Degree of Binomial Power of a Power Negative Exponent
Difference of two squares Power of a Product

Dessert: Application of Two Cars Driving
Two cars leave at the same time and both are driving to Fullerton. The cars’
distance from Fullerton (in miles) is represented by the two equations below, where
t represent time in hours. (Assume the cars are driving at a constant speed.)

Car A: A = 67t + 12
Car B: B= 60t + 18

a) Which car is faster? Explain.

b) How far did Car A travel in 3 hours?

c) Write the expression which shows the distance between the two cars.
