Part II. Compare the following two lots:

Changed

Original

Lot

7. How much greater is the area of the changed lot compared to the area of the

original lot?

8. Write an equation for the area of the changed lot.

9. Write an equation for the area of the changed lot using the area of the original

lot plus the area of the added part.

10. Graph your equations from #2 and #3 on your calculator. Describe the

difference in the two graphs. Be sure to include notions such as parameter

changes, vertex, minimum/maximum, roots, etc.

____________________________________

The expression (n-2)(n+2) is said to be in factored form because it is written as

the product of two linear factors. An expression that is written as the sum or

term form , or expanded form. A term is a

difference of terms is said to be in

group of variables and/or numbers multiplied together. In #8 above, you wrote an

equation for the area in factored form and in #9 you wrote an equation for the

area in term or expanded form.
