Question

why 1/x-2is not a polynomial.give reason​

Answer 1

($\frac{1}{x} - 2$) is not a polynomial, this is because, the power of the variable is a negative integer. But we know that the power of every varible in a polynomial must be a whole number.

1] The polynomial of degree _ is known as _:-

• 1; linear,
• 2; quadratic,
• 3; cubic,
• 4; biquadratic.

2] The polynomial having zero as coefficient in known as a zero polynomal.

Ex: 0x², 0x⁷, etc.

3] A constant polynomial is a polynominal having 0 as the degree of the variable.

• 2x⁰ = 2 (constant)
• 9x⁰ = 9 (constant), etc.
