Polynomials

Polynomials - what a strange word! These sections are more about understanding terminology than actual calculations. Your task is to try and explain each term in your own words so that your classmates (or your parents!) understand what each term means. You MUST choose 1, or you can do more if you like. DUE NO LATER THAN MONDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2008

One Geometry for all?

At the beginning of the year you were told that you had 2 choices for geometry next year. Analytic Geometry was for students who achieved a 90% grade average (strong B or an A). Those who achieved a grade average between 76 (C-) and 89 (B) were to go to regular Geometry.
For a variety of reasons the math department has decided to put all the geometry students in the same class, a course named Geometry and Trig. Students who pass either Algebra 1 or Algebra 1B will be together.
What are your thoughts on this? Is it a good idea in your opinion? What are the pro's and con's?
