What is Homogeneous:
Homogeneous is an adjective that indicates that it is relative to the same genus, possessing the same characters.
The word homogeneous is of ancient Greek origin homogeneous composed by homos which means “same” and genos which expresses “class”.
The term homogeneous is made up of elements with common characteristics referring to their class or nature, which allows a relationship of equality and uniformity to be established between them.
The word homogeneous can be used in various contexts.
In social Sciencessocial homogeneity refers to a society in which all its members are equal, speak the same language and share the same beliefs and customs, reducing the possibility of social conflicts such as: religious, linguistic, among others.
Likewise, in the statistics areathe term homogeneous refers to stratification that does not have numerous diversity.
The word homogeneous can be used as a synonym for: similar, similar, similar, uniform, among others. Some antonyms of the term homogeneous are: heterogeneous, different.
Homogeneous and heterogeneous
The term homogeneous is an adjective that indicates that it is the same for the various elements that make up a certain group or set, in turn, the term heterogeneous It is an adjective that indicates that something is made up of parts of a different nature.
In the area of chemistry these 2 terms are used in order to determine the compounds. A mixture can be homogeneous or heterogeneous.
The homogeneous mixture It is one whose components cannot be differentiated with the naked eye, they are made up of a solute and a solvent, for example: water (solvent) mixed with sugar (solute).
The heterogeneous mixture It is that mixture in which its components can be easily differentiated and separated, such as water and oil, both compounds can be easily observed and separated through the decantation technique.
Homogeneous system
A homogeneous system It is one that is made up of a single phase, in the area of chemistry, it means that the intensive properties have equal value at all points.
Likewise, a homogeneous system is a mixture of several substances of uniform composition, that is, the different substances or parts that form it cannot be distinguished, such as sugar dissolved in water.
A homogeneous system is divided into: solutions, it has a single visible phase and is formed by a solvent and a solute, through distillation or crystallization they can be fractionated into other components and, pure substances are those for which it is not possible to obtain other substances. or components through fractionation methods.
However, at a scientific level, the homogeneous balance It refers to all reactions in which the elements are in the same phase, that is, in the same chemical state such as: a mixture of gases or a liquid solution.

homogeneous function
The homogeneous function It is one in which all its arguments are multiplied by a firm factor, consequently, the value of the function turns out to be a certain number of times the multiplicative factor raised to a power, therefore, said power is the degree of the homogeneous function.
Homogeneous polynomial
He homogeneous polynomial It is one in which all its terms have the same degree.
