Obtaining Polynomials: Probability & Ways

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the methods for obtaining polynomials with coefficients constrained between 0 and 1. It establishes that there are infinitely many polynomials possible due to the infinite combinations of coefficients. Specifically, for even polynomials, the coefficients of odd powers are zero, allowing for numerous combinations of even coefficients. The probability of obtaining P(1,1,1)=0 is determined to be 0, as the only scenario yielding this result is when all coefficients are zero.

In how many ways can obtain polynomial from
[PLAIN]http://im3.gulfup.com/2011-05-05/1304543619801.gif

notes that c any coffieceints is in{0.1}
also in how many ways can obtain even ploynomials?whats the probability that we can obtain P(1,1,1)=0

there infinitely many polynomials of that form; since there are infinitely many possibilities for choosing a single coefficient between 0 and 1. and you have to choose a bunch of them.
in an even polynomial, the coefficients of odd powers are 0, still you would have bunch of coefficients which don't need to be 0 and can be chosen at random. by the same argument as above, there are infinitely many even polynomials of that form.
if x=y=z=1, then the equation would be just a sum of a number of random numbers, all between 0 and 1. there are infinitely many possible combnations; but the only one which will give 0, is that all of the coeffcients are 0. so, the probability that P(1,1,1)=0 is
1/infinity=0.
after writing the answer I realized that maybe you don't mean the interval between 0 and 1 but only 0 and 1, was that your question?
