Is this equation 5x3 – 18x2 + x – 7 a polynomial?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

It's more of an expression since it doesn't have an equal sign...but that's beside the point

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

But yes, it's a polynomial

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

i think the definition of a polynomial is an expression/equation containing variables with integer exponents (meaning the exponents are whole numbers)

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

wait let me correct myself..variables with nonnegative integer exponents
