Step-by-step explanation:
A polynomial is an expression that can be built from constants and symbols called variables or indeterminates by means of addition, multiplication and exponentiation to a non-negative integer power. Two such expressions that may be transformed, one to the other, by applying the usual properties of commutativity, associativity and distributivity of addition and multiplication, are considered as defining the same polynomial.
A polynomial in a single indeterminate x can always be written (or rewritten) in the form
{\displaystyle a_{n}x^{n}+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+\dotsb +a_{2}x^{2}+a_{1}x+a_{0},}a_{n}x^{n}+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+\dotsb +a_{2}x^{2}+a_{1}x+a_{0},
where {\displaystyle a_{0},\ldots ,a_{n}}a_{0},\ldots ,a_{n} are constants and {\displaystyle x}x is the indeterminate.[2][3] The word "indeterminate" means that {\displaystyle x}x represents no particular value, although any value may be substituted for it. The mapping that associates the result of this substitution to the substituted value is a function, called a polynomial function.
This can be expressed more concisely by using summation notation:
{\displaystyle \sum _{k=0}^{n}a_{k}x^{k}}{\displaystyle \sum _{k=0}^{n}a_{k}x^{k}}
That is, a polynomial can either be zero or can be written as the sum of a finite number of non-zero terms. Each term consists of the product of a number – called the coefficient of the term[a] – and a finite number of indeterminates, raised to nonnegative integer
2 meters are 200 centimeters
you will need to know how many friends she has...
but, supposing she has 4 friends, each friend would get 50 centimeters...
i'm not really sure how to write that in a mixed number, but I hope this helps!!
Let's break this down into what each piece is.
One flat= one whole= 1
One rod= one tenth= 0.1
One unit= one hundredth= 0.01
a) We have 1 flat, 3 rods, and 7 units. Using what we know, we have 1 whole, 3 tenths, and 7 hundredths. So, this is 1 + 0.3+ 0.07. This equals 1.37.
b) 1 flat, 37 units. This is 1 whole, and 37 hundredths. When there are two digits that you want to put in the hundredths place, put the digit furthest to the right in the hundredths place (excluding decimals) and place the rest of the number to the left accordingly. So for us, 37 hundredths would be .37, not .037. Add up 1 and .37, and we have 1.37.
c) 13 rods, 7 units. This is like the last problem. We have two digits wanted to go in the tenths place, but that isn't possible. So, we take the digit all the way to the right and put it in the tenths place (3). Now, we take out remaining digits (1), and put it in the next space to the left. Our rods= 1.3. Now for our units. We have 7, so that equals 0.07. Add it together, and now we have 1.37.
All of the problems equal 1.37. This shows how many ways a number can be represented.
Hope this helped! If it's still confusing, feel free to comment. have a nice day!
