Question

write the following polynomials in Coefficient form 2/3​

Answer 1

In an algebraic expression, if the powers of the variables are whole numbers then the algebraic expression is a polynomial.

(i)

y+

1

y

=y+y-1

Here, one of the powers of y is −1, which is not a whole number. So, y +

1

y

is not a polynomial.

(ii)

2 - 5

√

x

=2-5x

1

2

Here, the power of x is

1

2

, which is not a whole number. So, 2 - 5

√

x

is not a polynomial.
