Question

Determine whether f(x) represents a polynomial function. If possible,what is the degree and type? f(x)=-8x^3

Answer 1

what do you think?

Answer 2

not sure

Answer 3

well do you think its a polynomial?

Answer 4

i don't think so

Answer 5

it is.

Answer 6

is it a linear

Answer 7

you dont want me to define a polynomial for you because I would prob not say it right, but google it and you will see.

Answer 8

no a linear function would be a straight line, this is qubic because it has a DEGREE of 3

Answer 9

i am all confused, now, but thanks.

Answer 10

anything that looks like this

x^4+12x^3+23x then its a poltnomial (if the exponents are positive)

the degree is the biggest exponent.

Answer 11

thanks for the explanation...was so lost

Answer 12

I should have said the exponents are 0 or positive

so

is x^32+x^12 + 45 a polynomial? (note: 45 = 45x^0)

Answer 13

i would say yes

Answer 14

your right

what degree?

Answer 15

32?

Answer 16

yes

is

(1/x)^2 + 23 x a polynomial?

Answer 17

Degree of polynomial=2
and the type of polynomial= Quadratic Polynomial(degree is 2)

Answer 18

this is a 3rd degree polynomial ... not 2

Answer 19

oh!! sry i read other question @zzr0ck3r

Answer 20

Degree of polynomial= 3
Type of polynomial = Cubic Polynomial
