Answer: It is a polynomial, and the degree is 5.
I could be wrong on this but, i'm trying
Step-by-step explanation:
Polynomials in one variable are algebraic expressions that consist of terms in the form axn a x n where n is a non-negative (i.e. positive or zero) integer and a is a real number and is called the coefficient of the term. The degree of a polynomial in one variable is the largest exponent in the polynomial. Also, all exponents have to be positive in a polynomial. Another rule of thumb is if there are any variables in the denominator of a fraction then the algebraic expression isn’t a polynomial.Note that this doesn’t mean that radicals and fractions aren’t allowed in polynomials. They just can’t involve the variables.
The degree is 5 (since the largest exponent is 5)
Examples of Non- Polynomials
Example Polynomial Explanation
5x^-2 +1 Not a polynomial because a term has a negative exponent
3x^½ +2 Not a polynomial because a term has a fraction exponent
(5x +1) ÷ (3x) Not a polynomial because of the division
