19. What was Fred's product polynomial?

 

20. What was Sarah's product polynomial?

 

21. What was Chuck's product polynomial?

 

22. What was Jeannie's product polynomial?

 

 

The contestants with the minimum polynomial value for x = 1 or x = - 1 received 10 points and the contestants with the maximum polynomial value for x = 1 or x = - 1 received 20 points.

 

23. For x = 1, who had the maximum value and what was the value?

 

24. For x = 1, who had the minimum value and what was the value?

 

25. For x = -1, who had the maximum value and what was the value?

 

26. For x = - 1, who had the minimum value and what was the value?
