are x^y and -xyz^4 polynomials?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no they are called monomials since they comprise of only 1 term each

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0 is not a polynomial, right?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

one is, the other isnt

OpenStudy (amistre64):

monomial, and bimonial are not different from a polynomial, the are only special names for certain polynomials of interest

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I kind of thought the first one was a poly

OpenStudy (amistre64):

x^y is not specific enough to be considered a polynomial since there is no restriction given on the value of y

OpenStudy (amistre64):

is y only restricted to nonnegative integers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No? lol

OpenStudy (amistre64):

then x^y is not a polynomial

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok. I understand. So the second one?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

one is, the other isnt since we covered the one the isnt .... what does that leave?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The only other one x) dumb moment lol

OpenStudy (amistre64):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
