Answer 1

In this problem, I can not tell what is V, so I will answer it in a general way.

A polynomial is something of the form:

a*x^5 + b*x^4 + c*x^3 + d*x^2 + e*x + f

a, b, c, d, e, and f are real numbers and constant.

Where the degree of the polynomial is equal to the greatest power (in this case 5).

You write:

4x^2 + 3Vx + 5

Now, if V is a real number, then we have that this is a polynomial of degree 2.

Because we can write this as:

4*x^2 + (3V)*x + 5

So the answer is true.

Now, if V is a variable or an operation, the answer will be false.
