(i) In 4x
2
−3x+7. all the indies of x are whole numbers. So, it is a polynomial in one variable x.
(ii) In y

the index of y is a whole number. So, it is a polynomial in one variable y.
(iii) In 3

+t

t, here the exponent of first term is

1
, which is not whole number therefore is it not a polynomial.
(iv) In y+
y

=y+2y
−1
, here the exponent of first term is −1, which is not whole number, therefore, is it not a polynomial.
(v) In x

is not a polynomial in one variable as three variable x,y and t occur in it.
