alicia pose la question : i have a question about irrationals functions.
i have been using them quite some time now, but i wonder where they can be found in daily life?
i hope you can help me, Harley Weston lui répond.
Nicole pose la question : My name is Nicole and I am a teacher at Weyburn Comprehensive School. I am currently teaching both Math B30 and Calculus 30 at the school and I have a question about rational functions. I know that if a rational function (by definition) has common factors in the numerator and the denominator then it is not a rational function (math b30) however in calculus this common factor creates a hole in our graph. Can you explain to me why a common factor or constant does not give us a rational function? Penny Nom and Leeanne Boehm lui répond.
A polynomial is defined as
Polynomial functions are functions that have this form:
f(x) = anxn + an-1xn-1 + ... + a1x + a0
The value of n must be an nonnegative integer. That is, it must be
whole number; it is equal to zero or a positive integer.
The coefficients, as they are called, are an, an-1,
..., a1, a0. These
are real numbers.
Questions:
why must n be positive?
what are some historical facts
about the evolution of the definition?
Harley Weston lui répond.
