Question

Identify whether the given expressions are polynomials in one variable or not?
(i) $y + \frac{2}{y}$
(ii) $x^{10} + y^{3} + t^{50}$

Open in App

Solution

(i) $y + \frac{2}{y}$ is not a polynomial as power of y in second term, i.e., $\frac{1}{y} = y^{- 1}$ is not a whole number.

(ii) $x^{10} + y^{3} + t^{50}$ is not a polynomial in one variable but a polynomial in three variables x, y and t.
