### Eureka Math Algebra 2 Module 1 Lesson 5 Problem Set Answer Key

For Problems 1 – 7, rewrite each expression as a polynomial in standard form.

Question 1.
(3x – 4)3
27x3 – 108x2 + 144x – 64

7

Question 7.
$$\frac{x^{2}-5 x+6}{x-3}+\frac{x^{3}-1}{x-1}$$

For Problems 8 – 9: Quick, what would be the first and last terms of the polynomial if it was written in standard form?

Question 8.
2(x2 – 5x + 4) – (x + 3) (x + 2)
The first and last term are x2 and 2.

Question 9.
$$\frac{(x-2)^{5}}{x-2}$$
The first and last terms are x4 and 16.

Question 10.
The profit a business earns by selling x items is given by the polynomial function
p(x) = x(160 – x) – (100x + 500).
What is the last term in the standard form of this polynomial? What does it mean in this situation?
The last term is – 500 so that p(0) = – 500. This means that if no items are sold, the company would lose \$500.

Question 11.
Explain why these two quotients are different. Compute each one. What do they have in common? Why?
$$\frac{(x-2)^{4}}{x-2}$$ and $$\frac{x^{4}-16}{x-2}$$
The quotients are x3 – 6x2 + 12x – 8 and x3 + 2x2 + 4x + 8.
They are different because the dividends are not equivalent expressions. The quotients have the first and last terms in common because division is going to reduce the degree by the difference of the degrees of the numerator and denominator, and their leading coefficients were both one. When multiplying, the last term of a polynomial in standard form is the product of the lowest degree terms in each factor. Therefore, when dividing, the last term of the quotient will be the quotient of the last term of the dividend and divisor.

Question 12.
What are the area and perimeter of the figure? Assume there is a right angle at each vertex.

Jenny thinks that the expression below is equal to x2 – 4. If you agree, show that she is correct. If you disagree, show that she is wrong by rewriting this expression as a polynomial in standard form. $$\frac{(x-2)^{3}}{x-2}$$
$$\frac{(x-2)^{3}}{x-2}$$ = (x – 2)2
