Hello there,

Given the question "Which algebraic expression is a polynomial with a degree of 2?."


A polynomial is an expression consisting of variables and coefficients, that involves only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponents of variables.


The degree of a polynomial is the highest exponent of the terms of the polynomial.


For option 1: It contains no fractional or negative exponent, hence it is a polynomial. But the highest exponent of the terms is 3, hence it is not of degree 2.

For opton 2: It contains a fractional exponent which violates the definition.

For this Answer it would be B.


Have a Nice Day and Hope this Helps ya Bye!
