you are so messed up....... a polynomial is just a expression consisting of several terms. like abc or ab or 2a or 5a............so x to a negative number is not a polynomial because x is only one term

Is -4x a polynomial?

Yes, -4x is a polynomial. A polynomial is an expression that consists of variables raised to non-negative integer powers, multiplied by coefficients. In this case, -4 is the coefficient and x is the variable raised to the first power, which meets the criteria for a polynomial. Thus, -4x is a linear polynomial.


Is this a polynomial 5x5 - 3x3 x?

Yes, the expression (5x^5 - 3x^3 x) is a polynomial. It can be simplified to (5x^5 - 3x^4), which consists of terms with non-negative integer exponents on (x). Polynomials are defined as expressions that involve sums and products of variables raised to whole number powers, and this expression fits that definition.


How a like polynomial and non-polynomial?

A polynomial is an expression made up of variables raised to non-negative integer exponents, combined using addition, subtraction, and multiplication, such as ( f(x) = 2x^3 - 4x + 7 ). In contrast, a non-polynomial can include variables raised to negative exponents, fractional exponents, or involve operations like division by a variable, such as ( g(x) = \frac{1}{x} ) or ( h(x) = x^{1/2} ). Polynomials exhibit smooth behavior and can be graphed as continuous curves, while non-polynomials may have discontinuities or asymptotic behavior.


What is the difference be a polynomial function and an exponential function?

In a polynomial function, the variable x is raised to some integer power. f(x) = 5x³ + 8x⁵ g(x) = (x + 5)² In an exponential function, some real number is raised to the power of variable x or some function of x f(x) = 5ˣ g(x) = eˣ⁺²


What is a number a variable or a product of numbers and variables raised to natural number powers?

A number is a specific value or quantity, while a variable represents an unknown or changing quantity, often denoted by letters like x or y. A product of numbers and variables raised to natural number powers is referred to as a polynomial. Polynomials consist of terms that can include constants (numbers), variables, and exponents that are whole numbers (non-negative integers). For example, (3x^2 + 2x + 1) is a polynomial where (3), (2), and (1) are coefficients, and (x) is the variable raised to the powers of 2 and 1.


When is a negative number raised to an odd power negative?

It is always negative when raised to an odd power and always positive when raised to an even power -2 to the third power = -2 x -2 x -2 = -8 -2 to the fourth power = -2 x -2 x -2 x -2 = +16


Is x to the power of -2 a polynomial?

No. By the definition of a polynomial, the powers can only be non-negative integers.


What does 10 to the negative 73 power equal?

Any number x raised to a negative power -y is equivalent to the reciprocal of x raised to y. So, 10-73 would be the fraction 1 over the number 1 with 73 zeroes after it. A very small number indeed!


How do you find Polynomial?

A polynomial is a sum of a finite number of terms in which each term is of the form a*Xn where a is a coefficient, X is a variable and n is a non-negative integer.a may be integer, rations, real or complex;X may be a numerical variable or a matrix.


What is x to the negative 7th power?

When a number is raised to a negative exponent, it is equivalent to its reciprocal raised to the positive exponent. Therefore, x to the power of -7 is equal to 1 divided by x to the power of 7, or 1/x^7.


When is a function considered polynomial function?

A polynomial function of a variable,x, can be written as a sum of non-negative integer powers of x. For example, f(x) = 5x5 + 27x2 - 37/3 x + 2.36.


Why doesnt the function y ex ever cross the x-axis?

no number can be raised to a power and equal 0 (x^y can never = 0). e is positive (about 2.7) and any positive number can not be raised to a power and equal negative (positive number X positive number = positive number)
