Expression Types Explained
Mathematical expressions can be categorized into different types based on their structure and operations. Here's a quick guide:
- Polynomial: Expressions with variables and coefficients, using addition, subtraction, and multiplication, with non-negative integer exponents (e.g., \(3x^2 + 2x - 1\)).
- Rational: Fractions where the numerator and denominator are polynomials (e.g., \(\frac{x+1}{x^2-1}\)).
- Exponential: Expressions where a constant base is raised to a variable exponent (e.g., \(2^x\)).
- Variable: A symbol representing a quantity that can vary (e.g., \(x\), \(y\), \(z\)).
- Constant: A fixed numerical value (e.g., 5, -3, \(\pi\)).
- Function: A relation between inputs and outputs, where each input has a unique output (e.g., \(sin(x)\), \(log(x)\)).
- Other Operator: Expressions involving operations not strictly polynomial, rational, or exponential, like trigonometric, logarithmic, etc.
- Invalid: Input that does not form a recognizable mathematical expression.
This tool helps you quickly identify these types for any given mathematical expression.
