Question

Help what polynomials are there??

Answer 1

All of them are polynomials except c.

Explanation:

Polynomials are in the form:

`a_0+a_1x+a_2x^2+a_3x^3+a_4x^4+a_5x^5+a_6x^6+\cdots +a_nx^n`

You can see here there are no extra symbols like square root, cube root, absolute value, and so on on the variable x...

We also don't have division by a variable. All the exponents are whole numbers.

a) While it has a square root, it is not on a variable so a is a polynomial. The exponents on the variables are whole numbers.

b) b is a polynomial also because all the exponents are whole numbers.

c) This is not a polynomial because there is a square root on a variable.

d) This is a polynomial. All the exponents are whole numbers.
