Answer 3

@zeinas.

Answer 4

The expression has a negative coefficient <---- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial

Answer 5

do you know the answer though

Answer 6

I Stated It Already He He

Answer 7

idk where you stated it can you tell me it

Answer 8

The expression has a negative coefficient - The Second Choice

Answer 9

Oh - And Congrats On Yellow!

Answer 10

@charlotte123 >>The expression has a negative coefficient

Negative coefficients ARE allowed in polynomials.

Consider P(x) = x^3 - 5x - 1

Some other option is the correct answer @realmadridCR7

Answer 11

@Directrix Got Confused With The Positive Integer Exponents Part - My Bad

Answer 12

I tried to help here but realized that I don't know what the algebraic expression for the possible polynomial is. Then, the OP ran off when I asked for a clarificiation.

Answer 13

33 y squared all over x squared - 62y2xz - 35z2y2 ----> 33y^2/x^2 - 62y^2xz - 35z^2y^2
The expression has a variable raised to a negative exponent <-- I see no variable raised to a negative exponent In the expression.
The expression has a variable raised to a fraction <-- I see no variable raised to a fraction In the expression.
If It Is Not The expression has a negative coefficient ---> It Would Be The expression has a variable in the denominator of a fraction.

Answer 14

The coefficients in a polynomial can be fractions - But there are no variables In denominators <---- Seems Like The Last One Is The Answer! @Directrix Thanks For The help!

Answer 15

I think I'll agree to that.

But, I still am unsure what this expression really is when written in symbolic form with no words. 33 y squared all over x squared - 62y2xz - 35z2y2

What do you think it is?

Answer 16

I believe It would be: 33y^2/x^2 - 62y^2xz - 35z^2y^2

Answer 17

@charlotte123

Answer 18

Which makes sense - Looking at the options

Answer 19

Are you saying this:

33y^2/ (x^2 - 62y^2xz - 35z^2y^2)

Answer 20

It does make sense looking at the options.

Answer 21

Yes!

Answer 22

Well, then I agree with your answer.

Answer 23

Oh Golly!
Thank You!!!
