33 over 16 - 62y2xz - 35z1 / 3y2
We rewrite the expression:
(33/16) - 62 * (y ^ 2) * (x) * (z) - 35 * (z) * (1 / 3y ^ 2)
The expression has a variable in the denominator of a fraction.
In fact, if we look at the expression it has a variable, specifically y ^ 2 which is in the denominator of a fraction. This causes the expression to stop being a polynomial.
