Post Your Introduction

Briefly introduce yourself to your instructor and classmates. Since this course is the second half of the Algebra material covered in MAT221, a brief review of its last topic is also included in the introductory post. Factoring is the key to everything we do in Week One of MAT222, so it is important that your factoring skills are sharp and ready to go! Please find the two problems assigned to you in the table below.

If the third letter of your lastname is	On pages 345-6, complete the following problems
A or N	70 and 62
B or O	90 and 56
C or P	74 and 60

Factor the polynomials using whatever strategy seems appropriate. Referring back to the processes covered in Chapter 5 of Elementary and Intermediate Algebra, state which factoring methods you will use and then demonstrate the methods on your problems, explaining the process as you go. Discuss any challenges those particular polynomials posed for the factoring.

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts by Day 7. Use this forum to get acquainted and for ongoing non-content related discussions. Also, check your classmates’ factoring by multiplying back, and give them feedback about how they did.
