To find: Whether the expression
Answer to Problem 5CYU
Yes, it is a polynomial
The degree is 5
It is a binomial
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 all the exponents are whole numbers and the polynomial satisfies all the above conditions as well.
Hence, it is a polynomial.
The degree of a polynomial is the sum of the exponent of variable. So, the degree is given by
And since, it has two terms. So, it is a binomial.
