Yes 6 is a polynomial, according to the Hawks Learning System.
**a more detailed explanation**
"A polynomial is defined as a term or a finite sum of terms, with only positive or zero integer exponents permitted on the variables" (Lial, Hornsby, Schneider; 2005)
and "The product of a real number and one or more variables raised to powers is called a term" (Lial, Hornsby, Schneider; 2005)
So since any variable raised to the zero power is 1, then 6x^0 is the same as 6x1, which equals 6.
So yes, 6 is considered a polynomial.

What are two polynomial functions whose quotient will have the same degree as the divisor?
For example, if you divide a polynomial of degree 2 by a polynomial of degree 1, you'll get a result of degree 1. Similarly, you can divide a polynomial of degree 4 by one of degree 2, a polynomial of degree 6 by one of degree 3, etc.
How do you answer polynomial?
You can evaluate a polynomial, you can factorise a polynomial, you can solve a polynomial equation. But a polynomial is not a specific question so it cannot be answered.
What is a polynomial divided by a polynomial?
monomial
What is the degree of the polynomial 2st4 plus s2t2 - 9s5t plus 21?
2st4 + s2t2 - 9s5t + 21 The degree of a polynomial with more than one variable is the largest sum of the powers in any single term. So the degree of the given polynomial is 6 (-9s5t1; 5 + 1).
What is a zero degree polynomial called?
a polynomial of degree...............is called a cubic polynomial
