Determine whether each algebraic expression is a polynomial or not. If it is a Polynomial, write P then classify it as monomial, binomial, trinomial, or polynomial, and list the terms and determine the degree of the polynomial. If not write N.
1. x2 - 1/x2
2. 4ab2 - 2ab + 6bc2

Answer:
1. N
2. P
Step-by-step explanation:
1.) In mathematics, a polynomial is an expression consisting of indeterminates and coefficients, that involves only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponentiation of variables. An example of a polynomial of a single indeterminate x is x² − 4x + 7.
2.) Rules: What ISN'T a Polynomial
However, 2y2+7x/(1+x) is not a polynomial as it contains division by a variable. Polynomials cannot contain negative exponents. ... Polynomials cannot contain fractional exponents. Terms containing fractional exponents (such as 3x+2y1/2-1) are not considered polynomials.
