A polynomial function is of the form that can be
represented as:
f(x) = A1*x^n +
A2*x^(n-1)....An*x^0
Now looking at the three functions
given:
a. y = 3x^2 + 2x + 1/2 = 3x^2 + 2x +
0.5
This is a polynomial as it fits in the format given
exactly.
b. y = 10X + 8
This
also is a polynomial as it also fits into the format
given.
c. y= t^2 + 2t - 4/
2t-1
Here y = t^2 + 2t - 4/
(2t-1)
This cannot be expressed as the sum of a series of
terms with a decreasing power of t due to the term (2t-1) which lies in the
denominator.
Hence the option c is not a
polynomial.
