This can not be a polynomial right? x^3-11x^2+3^x because of 3^x right?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

correct

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

3^x is an exponential expression which isn't a polynomial

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if the last part was 3^2 or something like that it would be a polynomial right?

hartnn (hartnn):

yes 3^2 = 9 is a constant, and polynomial can contain constants :)
