Which of the following expressions is a polynomial? (answer choices inside)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Answer choices, A,B,C,D from top to bottom :) which is a polynomial? :)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

in order to be a polynomial, all exponents (over the variables) must be positive whole numbers

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the exponents can't be variables

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, all the exponents are numbers in the answer choices tho

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

except for answer choice c.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so C is out then right?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

also, the square root of variables is not allowed

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if it were a polynomial

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so answer choice A is out... all thats left is B and D right?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

and finally, dividing by variables (or variable expressions) isn't allowed in polynomials

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oaky so B is out?? my answer is D. ?? the last one on the answer choice list?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes
