a polynomial is any variable with a positive exponent
OpenStudy (blackstreet23):
\[3x^5\] is a polinomial
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I got no for that bc of the fraction but im not sure haha
OpenStudy (blackstreet23):
\[3\sqrt{x} \] or \[3x^(1/2)\] are not polinomials

i am sorry, not just positive exponent, the exponent has to be a positive integer
OpenStudy (blackstreet23):
so the previous ones are not polinomials
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so is 2 yes 3 and 4 no and 5 yes?
OpenStudy (blackstreet23):
give me a sec
OpenStudy (blackstreet23):
2 is yes

3 is no because \[3/x\] is the same as \[3x^(-1)\]
OpenStudy (blackstreet23):
4 is yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
why is 4 yes?
OpenStudy (blackstreet23):
because whatever the coeficients are does not really matters
OpenStudy (blackstreet23):
we just care about the variables having positive integers
