Task(A) Let's enjoy doing this Crossword and recall all the number systems done:
Task (B) BRAINSTORMING
For each question: Factorize the polynomial into 2 binomials. Write them out for each problem. Then look
at the grid below. Only one of the two binomial factors from the problem can be found in the grid, along
with a letter that will help to spell out a quotation. Look at your answer and find the matching binomial
factor that appears in the grid and write its corresponding letter that matches the question number in the
blank at the bottom of the page. Problem #1 is done for you.
