Answer:
Polynomial comes from poly- (meaning "many") and -nomial (in this case meaning "term") ... so it says "many terms"
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)
Monomial, Binomial, Trinomial
There are special names for polynomials with 1, 2 or 3 terms:
monomial, binomial, trinomial
Variables
Polynomials can have no variable at all
Example: 21 is a polynomial. It has just one term, which is a constant.
Or one variable
Example: x4 − 2x2 + x has three terms, but only one variable (x)
Or two or more variables
Example: xy4 − 5x2z has two terms, and three variables (x, y and z)
What is Special About Polynomials?
Because of the strict definition, polynomials are easy to work with.
For example we know that:
If you add polynomials you get a polynomial
If you multiply polynomials you get a polynomial
So you can do lots of additions and multiplications, and still have a polynomial as the result.
Also, polynomials of one variable are easy to graph, as they have smooth and continuous lines.
Example: x4−2x2+x
x^4-2x^2+x
See how nice and
smooth the curve is?
You can also divide polynomials (but the result may not be a polynomial).
Degree
The degree of a polynomial with only one variable is the largest exponent of that variable.
Example:
4x3-x-3 The Degree is 3 (the largest exponent of x)
For more complicated cases, read Degree (of an Expression).
Standard Form
The Standard Form for writing a polynomial is to put the terms with the highest degree first.
Example: Put this in Standard Form: 3x2 − 7 + 4x3 + x6
The highest degree is 6, so that goes first, then 3, 2 and then the constant last:
x6 + 4x3 + 3x2 − 7
You don't have to use Standard Form, but it helps.
Probability that the mean childhood asthma prevalence for the sample is greater than 2.6% is 0.0357 or 3.57 %.
What is Probability ?
Probability is the measure of likelihood of an event.
For a Normal Distribution ,
the z-score formula is given by
Here is the mean and
is the standard deviation .
It is the measure of the deviation of the data from its central tendency.
Each z-score has a probability value.
It is given in the question that
Mean of 2.16% = = 2.16
Standard deviation of 1.36% means that = 1.36
For Sample of 31 the value of standard deviation is
s = 1.36/√31
s = 0.2442
Substituting the values
Z = (2.6 -2.16)/0.2442
Z =1.8
the p value from the graph of z and p , 0.9643
To determine value of probability more than X is 1 - 0.9643= 0.0357
the
Probability that the mean childhood asthma prevalence for the sample is greater than 2.6% is 0.0357.
