Answer: not all functions are polynomials

Step-by-step explanation:

Not all functions are polynomials. You're going to want to use the formal definition to arrive at derivatives for things like sin(x) or ex. Also, you can't even differentiate rational functions if you don't have the quotient rule or at least the product rule on hand.
