To simplify this expression, we are going to combine like terms.
First, we can see that we have two terms with the variables being multiplied together,
and
. Together, these add to
, so our expression is now:
We also have two terms with ,
and
. Together, these add to
, so our expression is now:
Our final expression is xy - yz + 5.
Answer:
The given expression can't be expressed in polynomial form. Hence, it is not a polynomial.
Step-by-step explanation:
P(x,n) is a polynomial of nth degree if it is of the form,
P(x,n) =
where n is a finite positive integer and n ∈ N
and ''s are fixed but otherwise arbitrary constants ∀ i = 0(1)n .
Now, the given expression is,
which doesn't fit in the above form. Hence, it is not a polynomial.
