You keep them the same if they have different bases
Yes, polynomials are a closed set under addition. This means that if you take any two polynomials and add them together, the result will also be a polynomial. The sum of two polynomials retains the structure of a polynomial, as it still consists of terms with non-negative integer exponents and real (or complex) coefficients.
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.
Yes, monomials are a specific type of polynomial. A monomial is a polynomial that consists of only one term, which can include variables raised to non-negative integer exponents and coefficients. In contrast, a polynomial can have multiple terms, such as binomials (two terms) or trinomials (three terms). Therefore, all monomials are polynomials, but not all polynomials are monomials.
Not every algebraic expression is a polynomial. A polynomial consists of terms that are non-negative integer powers of variables, combined using addition, subtraction, and multiplication. In contrast, algebraic expressions can include terms with negative or fractional exponents, such as (x^{-1}) or (x^{1/2}), which do not qualify as polynomials. Therefore, while all polynomials are algebraic expressions, not all algebraic expressions are polynomials.
The definition for polynomials is very restrictive. This is because it will give more information. It excludes radicals, negative exponents, and fractional exponents. When these are included, the expression becomes rational and not polynomial.
Yes.
Polynomials are the simplest class of mathematical expressions. The expression is constructed from variables and constants, using only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and non-negative integer exponents.
