Polynomials are algebraic expressions that consist of variables raised to non-negative integer powers, combined using addition, subtraction, and multiplication, such as ( ax^n + bx^{n-1} + \ldots + c ). In contrast, non-polynomial expressions can include variables raised to negative or fractional powers, exponential functions, logarithms, or trigonometric functions, such as ( e^x ) or ( \frac{1}{x} ). The defining characteristic of polynomials is their continuity and differentiability over the entire real line, while non-polynomials may have discontinuities or undefined points. This fundamental difference affects their behavior, solutions, and the types of equations they can represent.
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.
Yes, a polynomial of degree 0 is a constant term. In mathematical terms, a polynomial is defined as a sum of terms consisting of a variable raised to a non-negative integer power multiplied by coefficients. Since a degree 0 polynomial has no variable component, it is simply a constant value.
"Non-polynomial" can mean just about anything... How alike it is with the polynomial depends on what specifically you choose to include.
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.
No. A polynomial is an expression of more than two algebraic terms, and usually contains different powers of the same variable.
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.
