Solving for x With Polynomials

Polynomial defined as the function p(x) of the form p(x) =a0 +a1x+a2x2+……….anxn. Where a0, a1…an real numbers and n is the non negative integer is called polynomial in x over reals.For example 4x2-7x+3 is a polynomial over integers. If one of the powers of x in p(x) is either a negative integer of a fraction (either positive or negative), then p(x) is not a polynomial. For example x+2/x  is not a polynomial. The highest exponent of the variable in polynomial is called the degree of the polynomial.. Here we are going to study about how to solving for x with polynomial and its example problems.

Solving for X with Polynomials - Example Problems

Example: 1

Solve for x in the following polynomial expression 3x+5+6x +7 = 3x+4

Solving steps:    In the left hand side combine the like term first

3x+ 6x+ 7 + 5 = 3x + 4

9x + 12 = 3x + 4

Add both sides -4 we get

9x + 12 - 3 = 3x + 4 - 4

In right hand side 4 - 4 will be cancelling

9x+ 9 = 3x

Add both sides -3x

9x -3x + 9 = 3x -3x

6x + 9 =0

Add both sides -9 we get

6x + 9 -9 = -9

6x = -9

Divide both sides 6

x = - 9/6

The simplest form is - 3/2

Therefore the value of x = - 3/2

Solving for X with Polynomials - Example: 3

Solve for x in the following polynomial x2 + 9x +18 =0

Solving steps:

First we have to find the factor for a given polynomial

We can write

x2 + 9x +18  = (x+3)(x+6)

These are the two factors the equation

Now we solve the both equation.

Both terms equating to zero we get

First x+3=0

Add both sides -3 we get

x = -3

Next term is x+6 = 0

Add both sides -6

x = -6

Therefore the value of x is -1,-6

Polynomials Algebra Tiles

In mathematics, a polynomial is an expression of finite length constructed from variables (also known as indeterminates) and constants, using only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative, whole-number exponents. For example, x2 − 4x + 7 is a polynomial, but x2 − 4/x + 7x3/2 is not, because its second term involves division by the variable x and because its third term contains an exponent that is not a whole number. In this article we shall discuss about polynomials algebra tiles. (Source: Wikipedia)


Sample Problem for Polynomials Algebra Tiles:

Solved polynomials algebra tiles problem:

Example 1:

Factorize the polynomial 2x3 – 10x2 – 24x+ 72

Solution

Sum of the coefficients of terms: 2–10–24 + 72 = 40 ≠ 0.

Therefore the value (x–1) is not a factor.

Sum of the coefficients of even degree terms = –10 + 72 = 62

Sum of the coefficients of odd degree terms = 2 – 24 = –22

Since they are not equivalent we estimate that (x + 1) is also not a factor. Let us check whether x – 2 is a factor. By synthetic division method

2 | 2       -10     -24        +72

|

|          +4      -12          -72
________________________

2        -6     -36     |    0

_________________________

Since the remainder is 0, (x – 2) is a factor. To find other factors

2x2 – 6x – 36 = 2x2 – 12 x + 6x –36

= 2x(x –6) + 6(x–6) = (2x + 6) (x – 6)

Therefore, x3 – 5x2 – 12x + 36 = (x–2) (x–6) (x+3)


Example 2:

Factorize 4x3 + 2x2 – 10x + 4

Solution:

Since the addition of the coefficients of all the terms: 4 + 2 – 10 + 4 = 10 – 10 = 0

We guess that (x – 1) is a factor.

By synthetic division,

1 | 4         +2        -10        +4

|

|              4        +6        -4

________________________

4         6         -4     |   0

_________________________

Remainder is 0. Quotient is 4x2 + 6x – 4

To find other factors, factorize the quotient,

4x2 + 6x – 4 = 4x2 + 8x – 2x – 4

= 4x (x + 2) – 2 (x + 2)

= (x + 2) (4x – 2)

∴ 2x3 + x2 – 5x + 2 = (x – 1) (x + 2) (2x – 1)

Problems for Add and Subtract Calculator:
Example 1:
Add   1/4 and 2/4

Solution:
here we have the same denominator so, just add the numerator keep the denominator same.
1/4 +2/4 = (1+2) /4

=3/4

Example 2:
Add  4/5  and 1/3

Solution :
The LCM of 5 and 3 is 15.
Therefore,4/5+1/3 = (4xx3)/(5xx3)+(1xx5)/(3xx5)

=12/15+5/15

=17/15

Example 3:
Add 2 4/5 and 3 5/6

Solution:
The given fraction is a mixed fraction first change into proper fraction and add
 2 4/5 +3 5/6=(2xx5)+4/5+(3xx6)+5/6=14/5+23/6

so, the denominator is different LCM of 5,6 =30
=(14xx6)/(5xx6)+(23xx5)/(6xx5)

=84/30 +115/30

=119/30

Example 4:
Subtract  3/5 -1/5

here, same denominator just subtract numerator and keep denominator is same.

 3/5-1/5 =(3-1)/5
=2/5
Example 5:
subtract 4 2/5-2 1/5

Solution :
The given fraction is a mixed fraction first change into proper fraction and subtract
(4xx5)+1/5 -(2xx5)+1/5

so, 21/5 -11/5

=(21-11)/5

=10/5

Example 6:
Subtract  3/4   from  5/6

Solution :
We need to find equivalent fractions of 3/4 and 5/6 , which have the same denominator.
This denominator is given by the LCM of 4 and 6. The required LCM is 12.

Therefore, 5/6-3/4 =(5xx2)/(6xx2)-(3xx3)/(4xx3)
=10/12-9/12

=1/12

Definition of Subset Learning

We come across set of different kinds in everyday life. A football team is set of players, a class is a set of students, a set of books in mathematics and so on. Basically, the set is an undefined term.  Anyhow, it can be a well defined  collection of objects. Here the word 'objects' has been taken in wider and broader sense. Mathematically, the numbers, words, letters, signs, symbols, thoughts, etc. all are the objects. Let us learn about a set and  definition of a subset in this article.

Learning Definition of a Subset

Definition

If each element of A is an element of B, then the set A is said to be a sub set of the set B.

Symbolically, we represent this by A `sub` B and read it as ' A is a subset of B'.

Thus A `sub` B `hArr` (  x `in` A   `rArr` x `in` B ).

If A `sub` B and A `!=` B then the set A is said to a proper subset of B.

learning examples of subset

1. {1, 2, 3, 4, 5 } `sub` { x : x is a natural number }

2. { a, b, c, d } `sub` { a, b, c, d, e}

3. Set of all vowels is a subset of set of all alphabets

4. A = { set of all integers}

B = { set of all positive integers}

B is a subset of A.

5. T = { x : x is a student of class 9 in your school }

W = { x : x is a student in your school}

T is a subset of W.



Definition of Subset Learning - Points to Remember

1. `phi` `sub` A ( since `phi` has no elements, it is a subset of every set)

2. A `sube` A ( every set is a subset of itself)

3. A `sube` B and B `sube` A `hArr`    A = B

4. A `sub` B and B `sub` D `=>`   A `sub` D

5. If A `sub` B, then x `!in` B `rArr` x `!in` A.

Adding Exponents Worksheet

Exponents are nothing but multiplying the number by itself.  For example, y2 is the same as y * y. Exponent denotes the number of times the number needed to be multiplied by itself. An exponent is nothing but a superscript, or small number that can be written at the top right edge of a number, variable, or set of parentheses. In this article we shall discuss the adding exponents worksheet.

Probability Distribution Definition

The word probability and chance are familiar to everyone. Many a time we come across statements like “It is possible that our school students may get state ranks in forthcoming public examination.

“Probably it may rain today”

Definition: The word chance, possible, probably, likely etc. convey some sense of uncertainty about the occurrence of some events. Our entire world is filled with uncertainty. We make decisions affected by uncertainty virtually every day. In order to think about and measure uncertainty, we turn to a branch of mathematics is called as probability.

Probability Distribution Definition-classical Definitions

Definition: If there are n exhaustive, likewise exclusive and in the same way likely outcomes of an experiment and m of them are favorable to an event A, and then the mathematical probability of A is defined as the ratio m/n.

Definition for random variable:

The outcomes of an experiment are represented by a random variable if these outcomes are numerical or if real numbers can be assigned to them. For example, in a die rolling experiment, the corresponding random variable is represented by the set of outcomes {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} ; while in the coin tossing experiment the outcomes head (H) or tail (T) can be represented as a random variable by assuming 0 to T and 1 to H.

Types of Random variables:

(1) Discrete Random variable
(2) Continuous Random variable


Definition for Discrete Random Variable: If a random variable takes only a finite or a countable number of values, it is called a discrete random variable.

Example:
1. The number of heads obtained when two coins are tossed is a discrete random variable as X assumes the values 0, 1 or 2  which form a countable set.
2. Number of Aces when ten cards are drawn from a well shuffled pack of 52 cards.
Probability Distribution Definition-theoretical Distributions:

Theoretical probability distributions is classified into

1. Binomial Distribution

2. Poisson Distribution

3. Normal Distribution

4. Exponential Distribution
