Illustrative Mathematics: F Bf, a Sse Building a General Quadratic Function
This task is a followup to the one called 'Building an explicit quadratic function.' In this one, students follow the same process with a general quadratic function. The operations take place in the opposite order and the goal is to find...

Illustrative Mathematics: A Apr Zeroes, Factorization of Quadratic Polynomial Ii
This task is intended to help students see more clearly the link between factorization of polynomials and zeroes of polynomial functions. The argument here generalizes to show that a polynomial of degree d can have at most d roots....
