To find: Whether the expression
Answer to Problem 1AGP
Yes, it is a polynomial
Degree of the polynomial is
It is a monomial
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Calculation:
The given expression is
The exponent of a polynomial must be a whole number. For a polynomial, the exponent can never be negative, square root, any fractional number and no variable should be in the denominator.
Here the exponent is whole numbers and the polynomial satisfies all the above conditions as well.
Hence, it is a polynomial.
The degree of a polynomial is the highest exponent. So, the degree is
And since, it has only one term. So, it is a monomial.
