To find: Whether the expression
Answer to Problem 22PPS
Yes, it is a polynomial
Degree of the polynomial is
It is a trinomial
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 a whole number and 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 three terms. So, it is a trinomial.
