Answer:
hmmm....
I don't think any of them are ????
that is a exponent that is a fraction ......
it appears that all the answers have fractional exponents, negative exponents, or divide by a variable??
Step-by-step explanation:
Polynomials cannot contain division by a variable.
For example, 2y2+7x/4 is a polynomial because 4 is not a variable. However, 2y2+7x/(1+x) is not a polynomial as it contains division by a variable.
Polynomials cannot contain negative exponents.
You cannot have 2y-2+7x-4. Negative exponents are a form of division by a variable (to make the negative exponent positive, you have to divide.) For example, x-3 is the same thing as 1/x3.
Polynomials cannot contain fractional exponents.
Terms containing fractional exponents (such as 3x+2y1/2-1) are not considered polynomials.
We are given ratio nickel to zinc to copper = 2:7:9.
From this ratio we can see that <em>ratio of nickel to zinc is 2:7</em>.
Let us assume number of pounds of nickel have to be used to create alloy that contains 4.9 lb of zinc is x pounds.
So, we can setup a proportion as :
x : 4.9 = 2:7
Or
On cross multiplication, we get
7x= 4.9× 2
7x = 9.8
Dividing both sides by 7, we get
x = 1.4.
<h3>Therefore, 1.4 pounds of nickel have to be used to create alloy that contains 4.9 lb of zinc.</h3><h3 />
