If all of its terms are of the form ax^b where a is any constant and b is a non-negative integer then it is a polynomial. If not, it is not.
Polynomial vs non polynomial time complexity
A polynomial with two terms is called a binomial.
"Non-polynomial" can mean just about anything... How alike it is with the polynomial depends on what specifically you choose to include.
No. A polynomial is an expression of more than two algebraic terms, and usually contains different powers of the same variable.
If all of its terms are of the form ax^b where a is any constant and b is a non-negative integer then it is a polynomial. If not, it is not.
An example of a polynomial with 3 terms is 3x3 + 4x + 20, because there are 3 different degrees of x in the polynomial.
Briefly: A polynomial consists only of powers of the variables - ie the variables multiplied by themselves or one another. A non polynomial can include any other function such as trigonometric, exponential, logarithmic etc.
Quintinomial, is a polynomial with 5 terms

how alike the polynomial and non polynomial
Yes.

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.
Yes, it is since it is a finite sum and the terms all have non-negative exponents.
