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).
The factors of 50 are 1, 2, 5, 10, 25 and 50.<span> The factors of a number can be found by determining which numbers evenly divide into a given number.</span>
Convert each mixed number to an improper fraction
--------------------------------------------
Convert 6&1/2 to an improper fraction
6&1/2 = (6*2+1)/2
6&1/2 = (12+1)/2
6&1/2 = 13/2
--------------------------------------------
Do the same for 9&1/4
9&1/4 = (9*4+1)/4
9&1/4 = (36+1)/4
9&1/4 = 37/4
--------------------------------------------
Now multiply the improper fractions 13/2 and 37/4. Multiply straight across
(13/2)*(37/4) = (13*37)/(2*4)
(13/2)*(37/4) = 481/8
--------------------------------------------
The last step is to use long division to find the mixed number equivalent of 481/8
Or we an say
60*8 = 480
So 60*8+1 = 480+1
which means
481/8 = (480+1)/8 = 480/8+1/8 = 60&1/8
Making the final answer to be choice C
Another way to get the answer is to convert 481/8 into a decimal to get 60.125 and then convert that back to a mixed number. You should get 60&1/8
