What is the meaning of rational algebraic expression?

A rational algebraic expression is the ratio of two polynomials, each with rational coefficients. By suitable rescaling, both the polynomials can be made to have integer coefficients.


Find two polynomials whose ratio simplifies to 3x-12x plus 1 and whose sum is 5xsquared plus 20?

The question cannot be answered because the ratio of the polynomials cannot simplify to "3x-12x plus 1" since that is not a simplified form: it simplifies to -9x + 1.


Is pi divided by e rational?

A rational number is able to be represented as a ratio of polynomials. pi/e is a ratio of irrational numbers, neither of which can be represented as a ratio of polynomials, and so I would conclude that pi/e is not rational. But it's a good question, because what if two irrational numbers could cancel out their irrationality, like two negative numbers! A quotient of two irrational numbers can be a rational number. Trivial example 2pi/pi = 2.


Will the product of two polynomials always be a polynomial?

Yes, the product of two polynomials will always be a polynomial. This is because when you multiply two polynomials, you are essentially combining like terms and following the rules of polynomial multiplication, which results in a new polynomial with coefficients that are the products of the corresponding terms in the original polynomials. Therefore, the product of two polynomials will always be a polynomial.


Can the sum of three polynomials again be a polynomial?

The sum of two polynomials is always a polynomial. Therefore, it follows that the sum of more than two polynomials is also a polynomial.


Give examples of some kinds of polynomials?

Binomials and trinomials are two types of polynomials. The first has two terms and the second has three.


Which property of polynomial subtraction says that the difference of two polynomials is always a polynomial?

The property that states the difference of two polynomials is always a polynomial is known as the closure property of polynomials. This property indicates that when you subtract one polynomial from another, the result remains within the set of polynomials. This is because polynomial operations (addition, subtraction, and multiplication) preserve the degree and structure of polynomials. Thus, the difference of any two polynomials will also be a polynomial.


What property of polynomial subtraction says that the difference of two polynomials is always a polynomial?

The property of polynomial subtraction that ensures the difference of two polynomials is always a polynomial is known as closure under subtraction. This property states that if you take any two polynomials, their difference will also yield a polynomial. This is because subtracting polynomials involves combining like terms, which results in a polynomial expression that adheres to the same structure as the original polynomials.

Are polynomials a closed set under addition?

Yes, polynomials are a closed set under addition. This means that if you take any two polynomials and add them together, the result will also be a polynomial. The sum of two polynomials retains the structure of a polynomial, as it still consists of terms with non-negative integer exponents and real (or complex) coefficients.


How do you multiply three or more polynomials?

To multiply TWO polynomials, you multiply each term in the first, by each term in the second. This can be justified by a repeated application of the distributive law. Two multiply more than two polynomials, you multiply the first two. Then you multiply the result with the third polynomial. If there are any more, multiply the result with the fourth polynomial, etc. Actually the polynomials can be multiplied in any order; both the communitative and associate laws apply.
