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)
Answer:
8x+29
Step-by-step explanation:
open the brackets the collect like terms together
Parallel line means having the SAME slope
so the slope of a line parallel to the given line is 2
plug in the given point and slope of 2 into point slope form
y+1 = 2 (x+4)
solve for slope intercept form
y+1 = 2x + 8
y = 2x + 7
answer: y=2x+7
Answer:
See description below.
Step-by-step explanation:
An inequality is an equation with more than one solution and they use <, >, 
or 
. There are a number of ways to work with inequalities.
Solving: To solve inequalities in one variable, treat it just like an equation. Solve using inverse operations. If you divide or multiply by a -1 then be sure to flip the sign. For example, if you have > then it becomes <.
Graphing on a number line: To graph inequalities in one variable, use a number line. Plot a point on the number line with an open circle then an arrow pointing toward the solution set. If you have an equal to, you would shade in the open circle.
Solving: To solve inequalities in two variables, you need a system meaning more than one. You solve it like a system of equations by graphing.
Graphing: To graph inequalities with two variables, graph each in y=mx+b form using the y-intercept and slope. Connect the points with a dashed line unless equal to. Equal to inequalities have a solid line. To show the solution set, shade the side of the inequality which (x,y) points make it true. To find this, test a point by substituting into the inequalities.
<span>It might be helpful to remember that the definitions of R2 and R3 are not geometric at all. R2 is the set of all ordered pairs of real numbers, whereas R3 is the set of all ordered triples of real numbers. W is a subspace fo R3, and so it still consists of elements which are triples, not pairs.
The fact that R2 and W can be visualized with the same geometric picture, namely the xy plane, is one way to see in a concrete way the isomorphism which the second poster refered to.</span>
