Answer 1

Answer:

Non polynomial

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

x² + y is a binomial.


Polynomial => An expression of more than two algebraic terms in which powers of variable must be whole numbers.


From this definition, we get to know that if the powers are whole number then it's a polynomial.

Since, x² + y :- has 2 (x) as power and 1 as power (y) and both are whole number so it should be polynomial but the terms here are only two, that is, x² and y. In order to be a polynomial, it should atleast have 3 or 3+ terms.
