Can someone show me an example of a non polynomial equation

Question

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

simply 3x

anonymous · Answer

isnt that a polynomial equation

anonymous · Answer

No. It does not follow the form.

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

$$f(x) = e^x$$

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

Levy is also correct. There are numerous answers.

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

so what is a non-polynomial equation

anonymous · Answer

I guess it is...

anonymous · Answer

Levy you're right.

anonymous · Answer

so the one you wrote above is a non polynomial equation

anonymous · Answer

i dont know i am not really sure

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

so f(x)=ex

anonymous · Answer

is that a non polynomial equation

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

ok ok neverminds its over i get it now lol

anonymous · Answer

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

dumbcow · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

thanks dumbcow i understand the math concept now
