Question

State True or False, if the following expression is polynomial in one variable (State reason for your answer):

$y+\frac{2}{y}$

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

The expression $y+\frac{2}{y}$ contain the term $\frac{2}{y}$, here
the exponent of $y$ is $-1$, which is not a whole number.
Therefore, the given expression is not a polynomial in one variable.
