is the sum of two polynomials of degree 5 always a polynomial of degree 5? Give an example to explain your answer

1 answer:

7 0

A counter example is

f(x)=5x^5+2x^3+3x
g(x)=-5x^5-x^4+x^2-4

Then f(x)+g(x) = -x^4+2x^3+x^2+3x-4 which is a polynomial of degree 4.

So the answer is no. Counter-example is given above.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 7.2 minutes and a standard deviation of 2.1 minutes.

This means that $\mu = 7.2, \sigma = 2.1$
