standard_description: Write simple expressions that record calculations with numbers, and interpret numerical expressions without evaluating them. For example, express the calculation “add 8 and 7, then multiply by 2” as 2 × (8 + 7). Recognize that 3 × (18932 + 921) is three times as large as 18932 + 921, without having to calculate the indicated sum or product.
problem_activity: Problem 1
Find the product.
$${(x-3)(x^2-2x+3)}$$
Once we find the product, how would we work backwards to get both factors again?
Problem 2
What is the other factor you would multiply
$${x-2}$$
by to get the polynomial
$${x^4-4x^2-5x+10}$$
?
