power drill - factoring & FOIL

Choose factoring to factor a quadratic function [math]f(x)[/math] then enter [br]your function [math]g(x)[/math] in the form [math]g(x)=a(x+b)(x+c)[/math].[br][br]Choose FOIL to expand a function of the form [math]f(x)=a(x+b)(x+c)[/math].[br]Enter your function [math]g(x)[/math] in the form [math]ax^2+bx+c[/math].[br][br]What can you learn about possible errors in either factoring or expanding by examining the difference function [math]f(x)-g(x)[/math]?[br][br][color=#ff0000][i][b]What questions could/would you ask your students based on this applet ?[/b][/i][/color]
