==Examples== If the system of polynomials consists of the single polynomial ''ƒ''<sub>1</sub>(''x'') = ''x'', then the values ''n'' for which ''ƒ''<sub>1</sub>(''n'') is prime are themselves the prime numbers, and the conjecture becomes a restatement of the [[prime number theorem]]. If the system of polynomials consists of the two polynomials ''ƒ''<sub>1</sub>(''x'') = ''x'' and ''ƒ''<sub>2</sub>(''x'') = ''x'' + 2, then the values of ''n'' for which both ''ƒ''<sub>1</sub>(''n'') and ''ƒ''<sub>2</sub>(''n'') are prime are just the smaller of the two primes in every pair of [[twin prime]]s. In this case, the Bateman–Horn conjecture reduces to the [[Twin prime#First Hardy–Littlewood conjecture|Hardy–Littlewood conjecture]] on the density of twin primes, according to which the number of twin prime pairs less than ''x'' is :<math>\pi_2(x) \sim 2 \prod_{p\ge 3} \frac{p(p-2)}{(p-1)^2}\frac{x}{(\log x)^2 } \approx 1.32 \frac {x}{(\log x)^2}.</math>
