For each power of ten , the number of zeros written in the product is the same as the number of exponents.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's move the 
to the right-hand side so we can determine what constant we'll need on the left-hand side to complete the square:
From here, since the coefficient of the 
term is 
, we know the square will be 
(since 
it's half of ).
To complete this square, we will need to add 
to both sides of the equation:
Now we can take the square root of both sides to figure out the solutions to :
Sum of polynomials are always polynomials.
Note that despite it's name, single constants, monomials, binomials, trinomials, and expressions with more than three terms are all polynomials.
For example,
0, π sqrt(2)x, 4x+2, x^2+3x+4, x^2-x^2, x^5+x/ π -1
are all polynomials.
What makes an expression NOT a polynomial?
Expressions that contain non-integer or negative powers of variables, rational functions, infinite series.
For example,
sqrt(x+1), 1/x+4, 1+x+ x^2/2!+x^3/3!+x^4/4!+...., (5x+3)/(6x+7)
are NOT polynomials.
Multiply each of the numbers by a ten to a power that they both become whole numbers.
0.67 *
= 67
0.3 *
= 30
Divide as usual.
67 / 30 = 2
So, the answer is 2 1/3.
