Question

is x-x/4 is a polynomial if not state your reasons

Answer 1

We know that,

A polynomial is a mathematical expression consisting of variables(with non negative exponents) and constants.

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Now},\mathrm{x}-\frac{\mathrm{x}}{4}=\frac{4\mathrm{x}-\mathrm{x}}{4}=\frac{3\mathrm{x}}{4}\mathrm{is}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{given}\mathrm{expression}. \\ \mathrm{The}\mathrm{variable}\mathrm{has}\mathrm{non}\mathrm{negative}\mathrm{exponent}. \end{gathered}$$

Yes the given expression is a polynomial in one variable.
