Question

x^2 − x/4 + 7 is a polynomial, but x^2 − 4/x + 7x^3/2 is not, because its second term involves division by the variable x (4/x) and because its third term contains an exponent that is not an integer (3/2), so what should we call this non-polynomial?

Answer 1

just "non-polynomial"?

Answer 2

Exponential? (this is if I remember correctly, don't trust me) :D

Answer 3

I mean what is the standard name of an equation which doesn't satisfy the conditions polynomial?

Answer 4

*conditions of polynomial

Answer 5

There is more than one other non-polynomial function.

Answer 6

*other type of
