Question

why cant a variable with negative power be said as polynomial like x⁻¹​

Answer 1

Answer:

A variable with negative power can't be said as polynomial like x-¹ because the numbers can only hold power values... For example: YxYxY=Y ( Here Y can't hold the power value because even after multiplying the Ys the answer remains the same as the value will be unknown.

Example 2: 4x4x4=64(Here 4 I have multiplied and as a result the answer I have got is 64 and I can even represent 4x4x4=4³...)

Step-by-step explanation:

The main point of this is alphabets cant represent power values because they are unknown... and the second explanation is the answer will remain the same....

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x⁻¹ is not a polynomial because it has negative power.

If an expression said to be a polynomial then it has the powers of the variables non negative integral powers .
