Answer: a and c are polynomials, b is not.

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial p(x) is written as:

p(x) = aₙ*xⁿ + ... + a₂*x² + a₁*x¹ + a₀*x⁰

where x is the variable, and the numbers aₙ, aₙ₋₁, ..., a₁, a₀ are the coefficients of the polynomial, such that aₙ is the leading coefficient, and the value of n (always a natural number) is the degree of the polynomial.

Notice that the powers need to be always natural numbers.

Now, let's analyze the options:

a) 3*x - 2

We can rewrite this as:

3*x¹ - 2*x⁰

Then this is a polynomial.

b) p² + 1/p    (in this case the variable is p)

the second term can be written as:

1/p = p⁻¹

Then we have a term with a negative power of p, this means that this is not a polynomial.

c) 3*y² - 2*y/3 + 1

Same as in the first case, we can rewrite this as:

3*y² - (2/3)*y¹ + 1*y⁰

This is a polynomial.

Find the 4th term in the following sequence (n = 4)
lisabon 2012 [21]

this formula, doesn't rely on a product, relies on a "sum", or is namely an arithmetic sequence, aₙ₋₁ -3 is another way of saying, the value of the previous term minus 3, so it relies on the ordinal value of a term, so is an recursive formula, well, let's get it when n = 4.

\begin{array}{ccll} order&term&value\\ \cline{1-3} 1&a_1&8\\ 2&a_2&a_{2-1}-3\\ &&a_1-3\\ &&8-3\\ &&5\\ 3&a_3&a_{3-1}-3\\ &&a_2-3\\ &&2\\ 4&a_4&a_{4-1}-3\\ &&a_3-3\\ &&2-3\\ &&-1 \end{array}
