To find: Whether the expression
Answer to Problem 21PPS
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. Exponent can never be negative, square root, any fractional number and no variable should be in the denominator.
A polynomial can have only a constant as well.
Since, 21 is a constant.
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.
