Solution

Polynomial is made up of two terms namely Poly (meaning “many”) and Nomial (meaning “terms.”).

A polynomial can have many terms which consist of

  • Constants such as 1,2,3 etc.
  • Variables such as g,h,x,y etc.
  • Exponents such as 5 in x5 etc.

which can be combined using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division but is never division by a variable.

Non Polynomial –

1x+2,x−3

Special types of Polynomial-

  • Monomial- having only one term. Eg. 5x, 3, 6a4 etc.
  • Binomial- having two terms. Eg. 5x+3, 6a4+17x
  • Trinomial- having three terms. Eg. 8a4+2x+7 etc.
in given polynomial it is possible to divide
