Answer:

A and D are not polynomials. B and C are polynomials

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find out what function is a polynomial, you have to understand what a polynomial is. A polynomial is a sum of monomials that make up a polynomial expression. A mononomial is a real number, with a variable, and a exponent of a variable that makes up one term. For example $3x^{2}$ is a monomial. It has a real number, a variable, and a exponent that makes up one term. A polynomial has one or more monomial terms that make it a polynomial. So firstly, a polynomial by definition cannot have a negative exponent. That eliminates D. Why? because by definition, the standard form of a polynomial function states that n cannot be positive, it has to be a nonnegative integer. Also, polynomials can only be real numbers. It cannot have a nonreal number. Radical forms without a perfect square are nonreal numbers. So that eliminates A. However, B and C can be polynomials because the definition of polynomials say that real numbers, nonnegative exponents, and constants can be part of a polynomial function. Even with the fraction, that would be part of rational expressions (polynomial/polynomial), which is polynomials. I hope this helps friend. Math can be tough to explain just as much as doing it :)

Pam says she will charge 125 plus 15 an hour to paint a house. Michelle will charge $50 plus $20 per hour to paint a house. Afte

Let us assume the number of hours after which the cost of Pam and Michelle will be same = x
Now let us concentrate on the information's already given in the problem.
Fixed charge taken by Pam = $125
Charge per hour taken by Pam = $15
Fixed charge taken by Michelle = $50
Charge per hour taken by Michelle = $20
Then
125 + 15x = 50 + 20x
20x - 15x = 125 - 50
5x = 75
x = 75/5
= 15
So after 15 hours the charge taken by Pam and Michelle will be the same. I hope the procedure for doing this type of problem is clear to you.
