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)
If we have one zero of +5i, we also have to have its conjugate which is -5i. Therefore, the factors that we will FOIL to get that polynomial are (x+5i)(x-5i). That distribution results in
. I'm sure by now you know that i squared is equal to -1, so -25(-1) = 25. So our polynomial is

Answer: 120</h3>
===================================================
Explanation:
There are 5 choices for the first selection, 4 choices for the second, etc etc until we reach 1 for the last selection. We have the countdown {5,4,3,2,1}. We'll multiply those values together to get our answer.
5*4*3*2*1 = 120
This operation of starting with some integer, counting down and multiplying along the way, is done so very often that it's given a name which is "factorial". The shorthand notation is to use an exclamation mark. So we'd say 5! = 120
The equation that expresses the relationship between the number of boxes, b and the number or cans, c would be c = 48b. This is because the number or cans shipped would be the dependent variable to the problem as it is dependent on the number or boxes that ship along with. So if one ships 2 boxes then the number of cans that would be shipped would need to match the final output of cans which is 96, and using the equation, c = 49b it does.
c = 48b
96 = 48(2)
96 = 96.
Technically the first option will also be correct but usually the variable in an algebraic expression comes after the coefficient.
