Recall the definition of a polynomial expression. Find two polynomial expressions whose quotient, when simplified, is . Use that division problem to determine whether polynomials are closed under division. Then describe how the other three operations—addition, subtraction, and multiplication—are different from division of polynomials.

Long division the problem is 40 ➗ 348 = ?

At the olympic games, many events have several rounds of competition. one of these events is the men's 100-meter backstroke. the upper dot plot shows the times (in seconds) of the top 8 finishers in the final round of the 2012 olympics. the lower dot plot shows the times of the same 8 swimmers, but in the semifinal round. which pieces of information can be gathered from these dot plots? (remember that lower swim times are faster.) choose all answers that apply: a: the swimmers had faster times on average in the final round. b: the times in the final round vary noticeably more than the times in the semifinal round. c: none of the above.

Factor k2 - 17k + 16. a.(k - 2)(k - 8) b.(k - 1)(k + 16) c.(k - 1)(k - 16)
