Question

Which algebraic expressions are polynomials? Check all that apply. PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

Selections 2, 3, 5, 6 are polynomials.

1 and 4 are not. The coefficients don't have to be integers, but the powers of the variables need to be positive integers. In 1, you have x^-1. in 4, you have x^(1/2).
