I don’t understand the polynomials

Mathematics

Polynomial comes from poly- (meaning "many") and -nomial (in this case meaning "term") ... so it says "many terms"

A polynomial can have:

constants (like 3, −20, or ½)
variables (like x and y)
exponents (like the 2 in y2), but only 0, 1, 2, 3, ... etc are allowed
that can be combined using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division ...

... except ...

... not division by a variable (so something like 2/x is right out)

So:

A polynomial can have constants, variables and exponents,
but never division by a variable.

Also they can have one or more terms, but not an infinite number of terms.

These are polynomials:

3x
x − 2
−6y2 − ( 79 )x
3xyz + 3xy2z − 0.1xz − 200y + 0.5
512v5 + 99w5
5
(Yes, "5" is a polynomial, one term is allowed, and it can be just a constant!)



These are not polynomials

3xy-2 is not, because the exponent is "-2" (exponents can only be 0,1,2,...)
2/(x+2) is not, because dividing by a variable is not allowed
1/x is not either
√x is not, because the exponent is "½" (see fractional exponents)


But these are allowed:

x/2 is allowed, because you can divide by a constant
also 3x/8 for the same reason
√2 is allowed, because it is a constant (= 1.4142...etc)

The interval where the function is increasing is (3, ∞)

<h3>Interval of a function</h3>

Given the rational function shown below

g(x) = ∛x-3

For the function to be a positive function, the value in the square root  must be positive such that;

x - 3 = 0

Add 3 to both sides

x = 0 + 3

x = 3

Hence the interval where the function is increasing is (3, ∞)
