Can someone show me an example of a non polynomial equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A general polynomial is an equation that takes on the form \[Ax^2+Bx+c\] so anything besides this form will work. Ex. ln(x+2)=6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I want an example of a non polynomial equation, does anyody know one i know what a plynomial equation is i want a non polyinomial equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

simply 3x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

isnt that a polynomial equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. It does not follow the form.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok ur not helping i want a non polynomial equation someone give me that this is for a math assignment that believe it or not is important to me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f(x) = e^x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How am I not helping? I already gave you one and agreed with another.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Levy is also correct. There are numerous answers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that is a non polynomial equation then, is this so levy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Isn't a polynomial like: \[f(x) = a_0.x^n + a_1 . x^{n-1} + ... + a_{n-1}.x + a_n\]?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what is a non-polynomial equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I guess it is...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Levy you're right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the one you wrote above is a non polynomial equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know i am not really sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, it doesn't follow the pattern I mentioned, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so f(x)=ex

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that a non polynomial equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

e^x, e.x is just a polynomial equation of first degree.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok ok neverminds its over i get it now lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hahaha, no problem, I can explain again if you will.

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

f(x) = sin(x) f(x) = ln(x) are also non-polynomial

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks dumbcow i understand the math concept now
