One round from AP Precalculus — Unit 1: Polynomial and Rational Functions

Four students see

Factor Theorem

A value is a root exactly when the matching linear expression divides evenly.

The fifth sees

Root-divides-evenly

That is all they get — a hint, not the term the other four are holding — and they have to describe it first.

The Mole knows a root makes something divide evenly. They can describe dividing a polynomial and having nothing left over and sound right — while stating the remainder theorem, which is the general rule this one is a special case of. Close enough to pass for a minute, wrong enough to lose.

Recognizing a word is not knowing it

Precalculus is the year students stop being able to guess from the shape of the question. A theorem they can name but not state is one they will not be able to use next year.
