Determine whether the function is a polynomial function.

OpenStudy (explainitlikeimfive):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

exponents must be positive integers, not fractions, no radicals

OpenStudy (explainitlikeimfive):

I don't know how to apply that information to this problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt[4]{x^5}\] has a radical right?

OpenStudy (explainitlikeimfive):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then it is not a polynomial, for the reason i wrote above

OpenStudy (explainitlikeimfive):

Now that makes sense. Thanks

OpenStudy (amistre64):

is \(\sqrt[3]{x^3}\) a polynomial?

OpenStudy (explainitlikeimfive):

No

OpenStudy (amistre64):

im not sure if it is or not; i know that it can be rewritten to the form x, which is a polynomial.
