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.
Polynomials and nonpolynomial expressions both represent mathematical functions and can be used to model relationships between variables. They share the property of being defined over real or complex numbers, and both can appear in equations and inequalities. However, polynomials consist solely of non-negative integer exponents on their variables, while nonpolynomials may include variables raised to fractional or negative exponents, transcendental functions, or other forms that do not fit the polynomial criteria.
No. A polynomial can have as many degrees as you like.
this term 2x is not a polynomial. this term is a monomial. since only one term was listed it can not be a polynomial. A polynomial is like four or more terms. a trinomial is three terms and a binomial is two terms.
It is a polynomial (monomial). It is a polynomial (monomial). It is a polynomial (monomial). It is a polynomial (monomial).
The degree of a polynomial is identified by determining the highest exponent of the variable in the polynomial's expression. For example, in the polynomial (2x^3 + 4x^2 - x + 5), the highest exponent is 3, so the degree is 3. If the polynomial is a constant (like 5), its degree is 0, and if it's the zero polynomial, it's often considered to have no degree.

Both - a polynomial expression, if you like.

zero polynomial which is 0 and only 0 = 0.
That varies from polynomial to polynomial. Whatever the highest exponent is is called the "degree", so a quadratic like x2 + 2x + 8 has degree 2.
this term 2x is not a polynomial. this term is a monomial. since only one term was listed it can not be a polynomial. A polynomial is like four or more terms. a trinomial is three terms and a binomial is two terms.
The Degree (for a polynomial with one variable, like x) is the largest exponent of that variable.
As many as you like. The highest power of the variable in question (usually x) defines the degree of the polynomial. If the degree is n, the polynomial can have n+1 terms. (If there are more then the polynomial can be reduced.) But there is NO LIMIT to the value of n.

The square root of a polynomial is another polynomial that, when multiplied by itself, yields the original polynomial. Not all polynomials have a square root that is also a polynomial; for example, the polynomial (x^2 + 1) does not have a polynomial square root in the real number system. However, some polynomials, like (x^2 - 4), have polynomial square roots, which in this case would be (x - 2) and (x + 2). Finding the square root of a polynomial can involve techniques such as factoring or using the quadratic formula for quadratic polynomials.
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.
