X,Y are polynomials of n, and n is an element of N, then

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the definitions of two polynomial sets, X and Y, where X is defined as {4^n - 3n - 1 | n ∈ N} and Y as {9(n - 1) | n ∈ N}. Participants seek clarification on the correct interpretation of the expression "4^n - 3n - 1/n," debating whether it represents a single polynomial or multiple forms. There is a request for precise listing of members from both sets and a suggestion to visualize the equations for better understanding. The conversation emphasizes the importance of clarity in mathematical expressions to accurately identify the nature of the polynomials involved.

Homework Statement



X={4^n-3n-1/ n belongs to N}
Y={9(n-1)/ n belongs to N }

Homework Equations


then,
XUY is equals to X or Y or N or None of these

First, list some of the members of X and Y.

But does "4^n-3n-1/ n" mean
4^(n- 3n- 1/n)

or 4^(n- 3n- 1)/n

or ((4^n)- 3n- 1)/n

or 4^n- 3n- (1/n)?

Please be precise.

Exactly. List the members of X and Y. Also, try and visualize the equations mentally as what they are describing in words. Apne aap kuchh samajh main aa jayega!

Phir, come back and post here
 
I picked up this problem from the Schaum's series book titled "College Mathematics" by Ayres/Schmidt. It is a solved problem in the book. But what surprised me was that the solution to this problem was given in one line without any explanation. I could, therefore, not understand how the given one-line solution was reached. The one-line solution in the book says: The equation is ##x \cos{\omega} +y \sin{\omega} - 5 = 0##, ##\omega## being the parameter. From my side, the only thing I could...
