When the polynomial is considered as an expression, x is a fixed symbol which does not have any value (its value is "indeterminate"). However, when one considers the function defined by the polynomial, then x represents the argument of the function, and is therefore called a "variable". Many authors use these two words interchangeably.
4. Mean value: If x is a variable that takes its values in some sequence of numbers S, then ¯ may denote the mean of the elements of S. 5. Negation: Sometimes used to denote negation of the entire expression under the bar, particularly when dealing with Boolean algebra.
means that "x is an element of A". [1] Equivalent expressions are "x is a member of A", "x belongs to A", "x is in A" and "x lies in A". The expressions "A includes x" and "A contains x" are also used to mean set membership, although some authors use them to mean instead "x is a subset of A". [2]
The following table lists many common symbols, together with their name, how they should be read out loud, and the related field of mathematics. Additionally, the subsequent columns contains an informal explanation, a short example, the Unicode location, the name for use in HTML documents, [1] and the LaTeX symbol.
Maurizio Cattelan’s viral creation, titled “Comedian,” has proven a sound investment for one collector: One of the artwork’s three “editions” smashed estimates to sell for $6.24 ...
An MTA cleaner allegedly slashed a man who confronted him for pouring bleach near the spot where he’d been sleeping on a Brooklyn subway platform early Monday, cops and sources said.
Since taking the square root is the same as raising to the power 1 / 2 , the following is also an algebraic expression: 1 − x 2 1 + x 2 {\displaystyle {\sqrt {\frac {1-x^{2}}{1+x^{2}}}}} An algebraic equation is an equation involving polynomials , for which algebraic expressions may be solutions .
The independent 5-year-old also decided to help her dad pack his lunch once, including a selection of his favorite snacks and a note with five hearts written on a napkin.
