Question

The algebraic expression in one variable is a __________ if the index of variable of each term is a whole number.

Answer 1

Answer:

The algebraic expression in one variable is a polynomial if the index of variable of each term is a whole number.

Answer 2

The algebraic expression in one variable is a _polynomial_ if the index of variable of each term is a whole number.

Explanation:

• Variables (or indefinite), terms, exponents, and constants comprises a polynomial expression.
• The expression is called a polynomial if the index of each term of an algebraic equation in one variable is whole integer.

• For example, $x^{2} +2x-3$ and $3y^{2}-2y+5$ are polynomials in one variable.

• Polynomials are algebraic equations with special properties. As a result, adding, subtracting, and multiplying of polynomials is identical to adding, subtracting, and multiplying of algebraic equations.
