Part 1 – Identifying the Contradictory Statement

In each of the following problems, three statements are given. Two of the statements agree with

each other. One of the statements contradicts the other two. Your task is to identify the

contradictory statement.

For each problem:

Identify the contradictory statement.

Explain why the statement you chose contradicts each of the other two.

Describe how the contradictory statement could be changed to make it agree with the

other two statements.

Part 1 – Identifying the Contradictory Statement
In each of the following problems, three statements are given. Two of the statements agree with
each other. One of the statements contradicts the other two. Your task is to identify the
contradictory statement.
For each problem:
Identify the contradictory statement.
Explain why the statement you chose contradicts each of the other two.
Describe how the contradictory statement could be changed to make it agree with the
other two statements. 1.
Statement 1:
Statement 2: 4 is a root of the polynomial f ( x )

Now it’s your turn to write a problem. For the problem you will:
Write three statements about roots of polynomials. Two of the statements should agree
with each other. The third statement should contradict the other two.
Identify the contradictory statement.
Write at least two sentences to explain why the third statement is contradictory.
Write at least two sentences to explain how the contradictory statement could be fixed to
make it agree with the other two. © K12 Inc.
