A 90 oz. bottle of shampoo is sold for $18.95. What is the price per ounce

Mathematics

This sets up as a very commonly  used proportion.

90 oz / 18.95 = 1 oz / x             Cross multiply

90 x = 18.95                              Divide by 90

x = 18.95 / 90

x = 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.

So each ounce of shampoo costs 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.

This is a very handy way to check best deals. Stores have trained us for years to believe that the more we buy of a brand, the better the price. It isn't always true. Sometimes buying the  smaller quantity is the better deal. There is only one way to be sure and that's to do a proportion like this one.

Try this is an example. The same company makes a smaller container of shampoo of 45 oz for 9.15. How much is 1 oz and which is the better deal? You should get 0.20333 dollars so this is marginally (just) the better deal.

Answer:

Only natural numbers (i.e., non-negative integers) can be the exponents of variables in a polynomial.

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponent of variables in a polynomial should be natural numbers (0, 1, 2, 3, \dots.)

  • \sqrt{2\, x} is equal to \sqrt{2}\, x^{1/2}. In this expression, x is the variable. Its exponent is 1/2, which isn't a natural number.
  • On the other hand, \sqrt{2}\, x is equivalent to \sqrt{2}\, x^{1}. The exponent of variable x is 1, which is indeed a natural number.

\sqrt{2\, x} isn't a polynomial because the exponent of variable x isn't a natural number. On the other hand, \sqrt{2}\, x is indeed a polynomial over the set of real numbers.
